ICD-10-CM Code for Nondisplaced simple supracondylar fracture without intercondylar fracture of left humerus S42. 415.
Your child's humerus is fractured (broken) near the elbow area, just above the joint. This is called a supracondylar (supra CON dy ler) humerus fracture. It is the most common type of elbow fracture and happens most often to children younger than 8 years old.
CPT® Code 24535 in section: Closed treatment of supracondylar or transcondylar humeral fracture, with or without intercondylar extension.
A supracondylar fracture is a type of elbow fracture common in young children. The location and cause of the fracture determine the type. A supracondylar fracture is a fracture in the upper arm just above the elbow joint. It is common but it can become dangerous if not treated properly.
Type 2 – angulation present but a posterior bony hinge remains intact. Type 3 – complete displacement with no bony hinge. Periosteum is usually intact. Type 4 – a controversial category describing a fracture that is unstable in flexion and extension, implying a lack of intact periosteum.
Overview. A supracondylar fracture is an injury to the humerus, or upper arm bone, at its narrowest point, just above the elbow. Supracondylar fractures are the most common type of upper arm injury in children. They are frequently caused by a fall on an outstretched elbow or a direct blow to the elbow.

We identified patients via a query of our outpatient billing database for the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code 24546 (ORIF of supracondylar distal humerus fractures with intracondylar extension).
The distal humerus is the lower end of the humerus. It forms the upper part of the elbow and makes it possible for your forearm to bend and straighten. The radial head is the knobby end of the radius where it meets the elbow.
Gartland originally described a classification for extension-type supracondylar humerus fractures, dividing them into three types: type I is non-displaced, type II is displaced with an intact posterior cortex, and type III is displaced without cortical contact [2, 5].

The difficulty in maintaining the reduction and ultimately the cubitus varus is the most frequent long-term complication with an incidence ranging from 3 to 57%. Adequate reduction and pinning has dramatically decreased this incidence.
A supracondylar fracture occurs through the thin part of the distal humerus above the level of the growth plate. Supracondylar fractures are initially divided into two types, depending on the direction of displacement of the distal fragment: Flexion-type (rare) - distal fragment is displaced anteriorly.
Delayed treatment Displaced supracondylar fractures have been traditionally treated as surgical emergencies due to the risk of neurovascular complications or the belief that open reduction instead of closed reduction will be needed if surgery is delayed.
A humerus fracture is a bone fracture of the arm. Fractures of the humerus may be classified by the location and divided into fractures of the upper end, the shaft, or the lower end.
