Disp fx of greater tuberosity of r humer, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the greater tuberosity of the right humerus that is no longer in its anatomical position (displaced). The patient is in a later stage of care for this injury, and the fracture is not healing at the expected rate.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced right humeral greater tuberosity fracture is presenting with evidence of delayed union. This includes situations where imaging confirms persistent fracture lines beyond the typical healing timeframe or clinical signs indicate inadequate progress in bone consolidation.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "right" to support this specific code.
• Confirm that the encounter is for "subsequent care" and not the initial treatment.
• Look for explicit documentation of "delayed healing" or "delayed union" to justify the seventh character 'G'.
