2-part nondisp fx of surgical neck of unsp humerus, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual condition resulting from a two-part, non-displaced fracture of the surgical neck of the humerus, where the specific side (left or right) is not documented. It indicates that the acute phase of the injury has passed, and the patient is experiencing ongoing effects or complications related to the prior fracture.

Apply this code when documenting a patient's current condition that is a direct consequence of a previously sustained two-part, non-displaced surgical neck humerus fracture, and the laterality was not specified in the original injury documentation. This is appropriate for conditions like chronic pain, limited range of motion, or nonunion/malunion issues that are no longer acute.

• Always use a seventh character of 'S' for sequela codes, indicating a late effect.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the prior fracture.
• Avoid using this code for acute or active fracture treatment; use the appropriate initial or subsequent encounter codes instead.
