Disp fx of greater tuberosity of l humer, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the prominent bony projection on the upper part of the left humerus (upper arm bone) that has shifted from its normal alignment. The patient is in a phase of recovery where the fracture is not healing at the expected rate.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced greater tuberosity fracture of the left humerus who is experiencing delayed union. This includes situations where the patient is undergoing continued treatment, such as physical therapy, repeat imaging, or considering further intervention due to slow healing.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "displaced" and "left" to support this code.
• Confirm the encounter is for "subsequent care" and explicitly mentions "delayed healing" of the fracture.
• Do not use this code for initial treatment or for fractures that are healing normally.
