Nondisp fx of greater tuberosity of r humer, 7thP

This code signifies a right humerus fracture involving the greater tuberosity that was initially nondisplaced but is now being treated for malunion. Malunion indicates that the bone has healed in an incorrect anatomical position. This specific code is used for follow-up care related to this healing complication.

Use this code for patients presenting for ongoing management of a previously sustained nondisplaced greater tuberosity fracture of the right humerus where the fracture has healed, but with an unsatisfactory alignment. This would include clinic visits, imaging, or other interventions aimed at addressing the malunion. It is appropriate for subsequent encounters after the initial treatment of the fracture.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies "malunion" as the complication of healing, not nonunion.
• Verify the fracture location is the greater tuberosity of the right humerus and was initially nondisplaced.
• This code is for subsequent encounters, not the initial treatment of the acute fracture.
