Nondisp fx of greater tuberosity of l humer, 7thK

This code signifies a non-displaced fracture of the large bony prominence on the upper part of the left humerus (upper arm bone), specifically when the fracture has failed to heal properly after an initial treatment. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, addressing the complication of nonunion.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed non-displaced greater tuberosity fracture of the left humerus is being treated for nonunion. This includes visits for assessment, management, or surgical intervention related to the unhealed fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and specifies the left humerus and greater tuberosity.
• Verify the fracture was initially non-displaced; displaced fractures have different codes.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter for the nonunion would use a different seventh character.
