Oth osteopor w current path fracture, unsp humerus, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual effect of a pathological fracture of an unspecified humerus due to osteoporosis, excluding age-related, drug-induced, or other specific types of osteoporosis. The fracture itself is no longer acute, but the patient is experiencing ongoing problems directly related to that prior fracture.

Apply this code when documentation indicates a patient is presenting for follow-up care, rehabilitation, or management of a long-term complication (e.g., malunion, nonunion, chronic pain, limited range of motion) directly attributable to a past osteoporotic fracture of the humerus. The medical record must clearly state that the fracture is resolved but its sequelae persist.

• Always sequence this sequela code after the primary diagnosis for the current encounter.
• Ensure documentation specifies "sequela" or describes a chronic condition resulting from a past fracture, not an acute fracture.
• Do not use this code for active, acute, or healing pathological fractures; use the appropriate acute fracture code.
