Nondisp fx of greater tuberosity of r humer, 7thG

This code describes a fracture of the prominent bony projection on the upper part of the right humerus (upper arm bone) that has not shifted out of alignment. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is experiencing delayed healing, meaning it is taking longer than expected to mend.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced greater tuberosity fracture of the right humerus is being monitored for healing progress, and the physician notes that the healing process is prolonged. It would be used when the patient is seen for ongoing management of this specific fracture and delayed union is identified.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and "greater tuberosity" for the right humerus.
• The "G" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter with delayed healing; confirm this status is clearly documented.
• Do not use this code for initial treatment or for malunion/nonunion, which have different seventh characters.
