Oth physl fx low end humer, r arm, subs for fx w malunion

This code signifies a fracture of the growth plate at the lower end of the right humerus, which has healed improperly (malunion). This specific code is used when the patient is seen for follow-up care related to this malunited fracture, rather than the initial injury.

Use this code for patients presenting for ongoing management of a previously sustained right distal humeral physeal fracture that has healed in an anatomically incorrect position. This includes scenarios such as evaluation for corrective surgery, physical therapy for functional limitations due to malunion, or monitoring of long-term complications.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "malunion" and not "nonunion" or "delayed healing."
• Verify the encounter is for subsequent care of the fracture, not the initial treatment.
• Confirm the fracture location is the lower end of the humerus and on the right side.
