ICD-10-CMNondisplaced fracture of lesser tuberosity of right humerus, subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing
This code signifies a fracture of the lesser tuberosity on the right humerus that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment. The "subsequent encounter" indicates the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and "delayed healing" specifies that the bone is taking longer than expected to mend.
This code is appropriate for patients presenting for ongoing treatment of a right humeral lesser tuberosity fracture where imaging or clinical assessment confirms the fracture is still present and healing at a slower rate than anticipated. It would be used for office visits, physical therapy, or other follow-up appointments related to the management of this specific, slow-healing fracture.
