2-part disp fx of surg nk of l humer, 7thD

This code signifies a fracture of the surgical neck of the left humerus that has two distinct bone fragments and is no longer in its anatomical position. The patient is currently in a phase of follow-up care where the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for documenting follow-up visits for a patient with a previously diagnosed 2-part displaced surgical neck fracture of the left humerus. It should be used when the physician assesses the fracture and confirms routine healing, such as during cast changes, physical therapy evaluations, or routine radiographic follow-ups.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left" humerus and "surgical neck" to support this specific code.
• Verify the "2-part" displacement and "subsequent encounter" with "routine healing" are clearly documented.
• Do not use for initial encounters or for fractures with delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion.
