Nondisp fx of greater tuberosity of right humerus, sequela

This code signifies a healed or chronic fracture of the greater tuberosity of the right humerus that was not displaced at the time of injury. It indicates that the patient is experiencing a long-term complication or residual effect directly related to this past fracture.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing pain, limited range of motion, weakness, or other persistent issues in the right shoulder due to a previously sustained and now healed nondisplaced greater tuberosity fracture. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing the late effects of the injury.

• Always assign this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., chronic pain, adhesive capsulitis).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the old fracture.
• Verify that the fracture was indeed nondisplaced and located in the greater tuberosity of the right humerus.
