ICD-10-CMNondisplaced fracture of greater tuberosity of left humerus, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing
This code signifies a follow-up visit for a patient who sustained a break in the prominent bony bump on the upper part of their left arm bone, specifically the greater tuberosity. At this stage, the fracture fragments are still in their normal anatomical position, and the bone is healing as expected without complications.
This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters, such as office visits or physical therapy sessions, where the physician assesses the routine healing progress of a previously diagnosed nondisplaced greater tuberosity fracture of the left humerus. It is used when there are no signs of delayed union, nonunion, or other healing complications.
