Nondisp transverse fx shaft of humer, r arm, 7thD

This code describes a right upper arm injury where the humerus bone has a break running straight across its shaft, but the bone fragments are still in their normal alignment. This specific code is used when the patient is in the healing phase of the fracture, and the healing process is progressing as expected without complications.

Use this code for follow-up visits after the initial treatment of a right humeral shaft fracture, where imaging confirms the fracture is nondisplaced and healing routinely. This would apply to appointments for cast changes, follow-up X-rays showing callus formation, or physical therapy sessions during the uncomplicated healing period.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right arm" and "nondisplaced transverse fracture of shaft of humerus."
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or delayed/nonunion healing.
• Always review the operative report or initial encounter documentation to confirm the fracture type and displacement.
