Disp fx of greater tuberosity of l humer, 7thK

This code signifies a fracture of the prominent bony projection on the upper part of the left humerus (upper arm bone) that has shifted out of its normal alignment. Critically, this encounter is for ongoing management of the fracture because it has failed to heal properly, indicating a nonunion.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient whose initial left greater tuberosity fracture was displaced, and imaging or clinical assessment confirms that the bone fragments have not united. This is appropriate for subsequent visits related to the nonunion, such as for monitoring, planning further intervention, or managing complications.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "left" humerus and "displaced" fracture.
• Confirm that the encounter is for a "nonunion" and not just delayed healing or routine follow-up for a healing fracture.
• Pair with external cause codes if applicable, especially for initial injury.
