Nondisp spiral fracture of shaft of humerus, left arm, init

This code describes a fracture of the main part (shaft) of the left upper arm bone (humerus) that has a spiral pattern, indicating a twisting injury. The bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment, meaning the fracture is "nondisplaced."

Use this code for the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, closed, nondisplaced spiral fracture of the shaft of the left humerus. This applies to the first encounter where the fracture is evaluated and definitive treatment is planned or initiated.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "spiral" morphology for the humeral shaft fracture.
• Verify the laterality is "left arm" and that this is the patient's "initial encounter" for this specific injury.
• Confirm the fracture is "closed," meaning there is no open wound communicating with the fracture site.
