Sltr-haris Type IV physl fx low end humer, r arm, 7thG

This code signifies a Salter-Harris Type IV growth plate fracture affecting the lower end of the right humerus, indicating a fracture that extends through the epiphysis, growth plate, and metaphysis. The "G" suffix specifies that this is a subsequent encounter for the fracture, and healing is progressing slower than expected.

Apply this code when a patient presents for follow-up care of a previously diagnosed right distal humeral Salter-Harris Type IV fracture, and the physician documents delayed healing. This is appropriate for clinic visits, cast changes, or imaging reviews where the primary focus is monitoring the slow progress of fracture consolidation.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" for the right distal humerus.
• Verify the fracture type is specifically Salter-Harris Type IV.
• Distinguish from initial encounters (A/D) or encounters for routine healing (K/P/S).
