Nondisp fx of greater tuberosity of r humer, 7thK

This code signifies a fracture of the prominent bony projection on the upper part of the right humerus (upper arm bone) that has not shifted out of alignment. Crucially, this fracture is in a subsequent phase of care and has failed to heal properly, indicating a nonunion.

Utilize this code for patients presenting for ongoing management of a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced greater tuberosity fracture of the right humerus where imaging or clinical assessment confirms the absence of bony healing. This would apply during follow-up appointments, physical therapy, or surgical planning for the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and specifies the "right humerus" and "greater tuberosity."
• The "K" seventh character is critical, indicating a subsequent encounter for a fracture with nonunion.
• Always link this diagnosis to the appropriate procedure code if surgical intervention for the nonunion is performed.
