ICD-10-CMNondisplaced fracture of greater tuberosity of right humerus, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing
This code describes a follow-up visit for a patient who previously sustained a break in the prominent bony knob on the upper part of the right humerus, specifically the greater tuberosity. The fracture fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment, and the bone is healing as expected without complications.
Apply this code for subsequent encounters where a patient is being monitored for a nondisplaced right greater tuberosity fracture that is healing routinely. This includes follow-up appointments for cast checks, physical therapy evaluations, or imaging to assess healing progress.
