Nondisp fx of less tuberosity of l humer, 7thD

This code signifies a non-displaced break in the lesser tuberosity of the left humerus, indicating that the bone fragments remain in their anatomical position. It specifically applies during the healing phase of the fracture, where the patient is receiving follow-up care and the healing process is progressing as expected.

Use this code for follow-up visits where a patient is being monitored for a previously diagnosed non-displaced lesser tuberosity fracture of the left humerus. This applies when the fracture is healing routinely, and there are no complications or delayed healing. It would be appropriate for subsequent cast changes, physical therapy evaluations, or routine radiographic checks during the healing period.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and specifies the "lesser tuberosity" of the "left humerus."
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or encounters for delayed/nonunion.
• Always confirm the laterality (left) is explicitly documented to support this specific code.
