Disp fx of greater tuberosity of r humer, 7thP

This code signifies a right humerus fracture specifically affecting the greater tuberosity, which has healed improperly (malunion) and remains displaced. This indicates a previous injury that did not align correctly during the healing process, leading to persistent anatomical deformity.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed and treated displaced greater tuberosity fracture of the right humerus, where imaging or clinical assessment confirms malunion. This is appropriate for ongoing management, evaluation of complications from the malunion, or planning for corrective procedures.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and specifies the right humerus and greater tuberosity.
• Verify that the encounter is for follow-up care related to the fracture's healing, not the initial treatment.
• Distinguish from nonunion (failure to heal) or routine follow-up without malunion.
