Other nondisp fx of upper end of right humerus, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual condition resulting from a previously sustained, non-displaced fracture of the upper portion of the right humerus. It indicates that the acute phase of the injury has passed, and the patient is now experiencing long-term effects or complications related to that past fracture.

This code is appropriate when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing pain, stiffness, limited range of motion, or other chronic issues directly attributable to a prior non-displaced fracture of the right humeral head or neck. It should be used for follow-up encounters after the initial healing period, when the primary injury is no longer active.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., chronic pain, malunion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the previous right humerus fracture.
• The "S" seventh character indicates sequela and should only be used for conditions that are residual effects of a healed injury.
