Oth osteopor w current path fracture, r humerus, sequela

This code signifies a healed or chronic pathological fracture of the right humerus that occurred due to osteoporosis, where the osteoporosis itself is not specified as postmenopausal, age-related, or drug-induced. It indicates that the patient is experiencing residual effects or complications from the original fracture.

Use this code when documentation clearly states a patient has a sequela (e.g., malunion, nonunion, chronic pain, deformity) of a pathological fracture of the right humerus, and the underlying cause of the fracture was osteoporosis. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters after the fracture has healed, but its long-term effects are still being addressed.

• Requires an additional code to specify the type of osteoporosis if known (e.g., M81.0 for age-related osteoporosis).
• Do not use for active, acute fractures; use the appropriate M80.821_ codes for initial or subsequent encounters.
• Ensure documentation explicitly links the current condition as a sequela of the past osteoporotic fracture.
