Nondisp fx of greater tuberosity of right humerus, init

This code signifies a break in the prominent bony projection on the upper part of the right humerus, specifically the greater tuberosity, without any displacement of the bone fragments. The fracture is contained within the skin, meaning there is no open wound communicating with the fracture site.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with an acute, newly diagnosed, closed fracture of the right humeral greater tuberosity where imaging confirms no displacement. This is appropriate for the initial treatment phase, such as emergency department visits or initial orthopedic consultations.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right humerus" and "greater tuberosity" for accurate laterality and anatomical site.
• Confirm the fracture is explicitly described as "nondisplaced" and "closed" to support this specific code.
• The "A" suffix indicates an initial encounter for active treatment of the fracture.
