Unsp nondisp fx of surgical neck of unsp humerus, init

This code signifies a fracture of the surgical neck of the humerus where the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment (nondisplaced). The specific side (left or right) of the humerus is not documented, and the fracture is being addressed for the first time.

Apply this code when documentation confirms a nondisplaced surgical neck humerus fracture, but the laterality is not specified. This is appropriate for the initial treatment of a closed fracture, meaning the skin over the fracture is intact.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and "surgical neck" of the humerus.
• Only use this code when laterality (left or right) is truly unspecified in the medical record.
• The "A" seventh character indicates the initial encounter for active treatment of the fracture.
