S42.432S the rationale being the 7th character place holder S is for sequela. The code description from ICD-10 for S42.432S reads "Displaced fracture (avulsion) of lateral epicondyle of left humerus. The code description for S42.242S, which seems to describe the condition exactly reads "4-part fracture of surgical neck of left humerus" was not an option. Can you please explain why?
