S42.451A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. Short description: Disp fx of lateral condyle of right humerus, init. The 2018/2019 edition of ICD-10-CM S42.451A became effective on October 1, 2018.
Displaced fracture of lateral condyle of right humerus, initial encounter for closed fracture. S42.451A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
2018/2019 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code S42.45. Fracture of lateral condyle of humerus. S42.45 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail.
The lateral epicondyle of the humerus is a large, tuberculated eminence, curved a little forward, and giving attachment to the radial collateral ligament of the elbow joint, and to a tendon common to the origin of the supinator and some of the extensor muscles.
Medical Definition of lateral condyle : a condyle on the outer side of the lower extremity of the femur also : a corresponding eminence on the upper part of the tibia that articulates with the lateral condyle of the femur — compare medial condyle.
Lateral condyle fractures involve a fracture line entering into the elbow joint. The Milch classification system (Table1) classifies the fracture according to the location of the fracture line in relation to the capitellar ossification centre.
Medial condyle fractures involve a fracture line that extends through and separates the medial metaphysis and epicondyle from the rest of the humerus; by definition, the fracture line must involve the trochlear articular surface.
condyle neck fracture, which occurs at the inferior attach area of the joint capsule, refers to an area that becomes narrow from the condyle head. It is an extracapsular fracture as it is not included in the joint capsule, and exists at the inferior attach area of the lateral pterygoid.
tibiaThe lateral condyle is the lateral portion of the upper extremity of tibia. Upper surface of right tibia. (Anterior is at top.) It serves as the insertion for the biceps femoris muscle (small slip).
The condyle is smooth and round whereas epicondyle is rough. Epicondyle is a projection on the condyle. The main difference between condyle and epicondyle is that condyle forms an articulation with another bone. whereas epicondyle provides sites for the attachment of muscles.
Definition of condyle : an articular prominence of a bone especially : one resembling a pair of knuckles.
The elbow joint is composed of the bony articulation between the humerus, ulna, and radius. The distal end of the humerus can be divided into the medial and lateral condyles. The articular portion of the medial condyle is the trochlea, and the articular portion of the lateral condyle is the capitulum.
The medial epicondyle is located on the distal end of the humerus. Additionally, the medial epicondyle is inferior to the medial supracondylar ridge. It is also proximal to the olecranon fossa....Medial epicondyle of the humerusFMA23441Anatomical terms of bone7 more rows
