2-part nondisp fx of surg nk of l humer, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the surgical neck of the left humerus that involves two distinct bone fragments but remains in its anatomical position. The "G" seventh character indicates that the patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is experiencing delayed healing, meaning it is taking longer than expected to unite.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed two-part, nondisplaced surgical neck fracture of the left humerus. This is appropriate when clinical or radiological evidence confirms that the fracture has not healed within the typical timeframe and requires ongoing management.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "2-part" for the surgical neck fracture.
• The "G" seventh character is crucial and indicates delayed healing during a subsequent encounter.
• Verify laterality (left humerus) is explicitly stated in the medical record.
