Sltr-haris Type II physl fx low end humer, unsp arm, 7thG

This code signifies a specific type of growth plate fracture (Salter-Harris Type II) affecting the lower part of the humerus, the long bone in the upper arm. It indicates that the fracture is not healing as expected and the patient is being seen for follow-up care related to this delayed healing.

Use this code when documenting a patient's visit for ongoing management of a Salter-Harris Type II fracture of the distal humerus that has not yet united. This applies to situations where the initial treatment has been rendered, and the patient is now presenting for subsequent evaluation due to concerns about the healing process.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "delayed healing" for this subsequent encounter.
• Verify the fracture type is explicitly documented as Salter-Harris Type II.
• Confirm the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
