Nondisp fx of less tuberosity of r humer, 7thD

This code indicates a fracture of the lesser tuberosity of the right humerus that has not shifted out of alignment. The patient is in a follow-up phase of treatment, and the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters when a patient is receiving routine follow-up care for a nondisplaced lesser tuberosity fracture of the right humerus. It signifies that the fracture is progressing through a normal healing process. This would be used after the initial treatment phase.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "lesser tuberosity" of the right humerus.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or delayed/nonunion healing.
• Verify laterality (right humerus) is clearly documented.
