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

This code signifies a right humerus shaft fracture that was initially transverse and nondisplaced, but has since healed improperly, resulting in a malunion. The patient is currently presenting for follow-up care or treatment related to this previously sustained and now malunited fracture.

Apply this code when documenting a patient encounter for ongoing management of a right humeral shaft fracture that has healed in an anatomically incorrect position. This would include visits for evaluation of the malunion, planning for corrective surgery, or post-operative care following intervention for the malunion.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies "malunion" and not "nonunion" or "delayed healing."
• Verify the fracture location is the shaft of the humerus and laterality is the right arm.
• This "P" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for a fracture with malunion.
