4-part fracture of surgical neck of right humerus, init

This code signifies a complex break in the upper part of the right humerus, specifically involving four distinct fragments at the surgical neck. This type of fracture often results in significant displacement and instability of the humeral head.

Apply this code for initial treatment of a newly diagnosed, non-open, four-part fracture of the right humeral surgical neck. This includes scenarios such as emergency department visits, initial orthopedic consultations, or hospital admissions for definitive management.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "four-part" and "surgical neck" to support this specific code.
• Verify the encounter is "initial" and the fracture is "closed" (no open wound communicating with the fracture site).
• Later encounters for follow-up care or healing will require a different seventh character (e.g., D for subsequent, S for sequela).
