Nondisp seg fx shaft of humer, r arm, 7thG

This code signifies a right humerus fracture that involves multiple breaks within the shaft, but the bone fragments remain in their anatomical position. It indicates that the patient is receiving ongoing care for this fracture, and the healing process is taking longer than expected.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up visits for a patient with a previously diagnosed right humeral shaft fracture where imaging confirms a segmental, nondisplaced break. This is appropriate when the physician notes delayed healing and continues to manage the fracture, such as during cast changes, physical therapy evaluations, or repeat imaging to monitor progress.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "segmental" and "nondisplaced" for the right humeral shaft.
• Verify the encounter is for subsequent care and that "delayed healing" is clearly documented by the provider.
• Do not use for initial fracture treatment or for fractures that are healing normally.
