2-part nondisp fx of surg nk of l humer, 7thK

This code signifies a fracture involving the surgical neck of the left humerus that has not displaced into separate fragments. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture has failed to heal properly, indicating a nonunion. This condition often results in persistent pain and functional limitations.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced surgical neck fracture of the left humerus is being treated for a confirmed nonunion. This includes visits for ongoing management, evaluation of nonunion, or preparation for surgical intervention to address the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "left" humerus and "surgical neck" to differentiate from other humeral fracture sites.
• Confirm that the fracture is explicitly documented as "nondisplaced" and that "nonunion" is identified as the complication.
• Verify that the encounter is for subsequent care, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
