ICD-10-CM2-part nondisplaced fracture of surgical neck of right humerus, initial encounter for closed fracture
This code describes a fracture of the upper part of the right humerus, specifically at the surgical neck, which is a common site for humeral fractures. The fracture is nondisplaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment, and it involves two distinct pieces.
Use this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, closed fracture of the right humeral surgical neck that is confirmed to be nondisplaced and involves two fragments. This applies to the initial treatment or evaluation of the fracture.
