Nondisp transverse fx shaft of humer, l arm, 7thG

This code signifies a break across the shaft of the left humerus that has not shifted from its original position. The patient is in a later stage of care, and the fracture is not healing at the expected rate.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a left humeral shaft fracture that is still present and showing signs of delayed union. This would be used after initial treatment, such as casting or surgery, has been performed.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "delayed healing" or "delayed union" for this specific fracture.
• Verify the fracture is indeed "nondisplaced" and "transverse" to the shaft of the humerus.
• Confirm the encounter is for subsequent care, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
