ICD-10-CMNondisplaced fracture of lesser tuberosity of right humerus, subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion
This code signifies a fracture of the lesser tuberosity on the patient's right humerus that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment. The "subsequent encounter" indicates the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and "nonunion" specifies that the bone has failed to heal properly after a typical healing period.
Apply this code when documenting ongoing treatment for a previously diagnosed, non-displaced right humeral lesser tuberosity fracture that has not united. This includes situations where the patient is undergoing further evaluation, conservative management, or surgical intervention to address the nonunion.
