Oth nondisp fx of lower end l humer, subs for fx w nonunion

This code signifies a fracture of the lower end of the left humerus that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal alignment. The "subsequent encounter" indicates the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and "nonunion" specifies that the bone has failed to heal completely after a typical healing period.

This code is appropriate for documenting ongoing treatment for a patient whose nondisplaced left distal humerus fracture has not healed as expected. It would be used during clinic visits, physical therapy sessions, or other encounters where the primary focus is managing the persistent nonunion of this specific fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and specifies the lower end of the left humerus.
• Verify the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
• Confirm the fracture is explicitly documented as "nondisplaced."
