2-part nondisp fx of surg neck of l humerus, init for opn fx

This code describes a fracture of the surgical neck of the left humerus that has not been displaced and is broken into two distinct pieces. It specifically indicates that the skin and soft tissue surrounding the fracture site have been compromised, exposing the bone to the external environment. This is the initial encounter for treatment of this specific injury.

Use this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, two-part, nondisplaced open fracture of the surgical neck of their left humerus. This applies to the initial phase of treatment, such as emergency department visits, initial surgical repair, or admission for the injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "2-part" to support this specific code.
• The "B" seventh character signifies an initial encounter for an open fracture; verify the encounter type.
• Always confirm laterality (left humerus) and the specific anatomical site (surgical neck) from the physician's notes.
