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

This code signifies a fracture of the surgical neck of the left humerus that is not displaced and involves two distinct bone fragments. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture has healed improperly, resulting in a malunion.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient whose initial surgical neck fracture of the left humerus has healed in an anatomically incorrect position. This would typically be used after the initial treatment phase, when the malunion has been identified and is being managed.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies "left" humerus and "surgical neck" to support this code.
• Verify that the encounter is for a "subsequent" visit and that "malunion" is explicitly documented.
• Do not use this code for initial treatment of the fracture or for nonunion.
