Nondisp fx of greater tuberosity of l humer, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the prominent bony knob on the upper part of the left humerus (upper arm bone) that has not shifted out of alignment. The patient is in a later stage of care where the fracture is healing slower than expected.

Apply this code for follow-up visits where a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced greater tuberosity fracture of the left humerus is being monitored for delayed healing. This would include scenarios where imaging shows incomplete callus formation or persistent pain beyond the typical healing timeframe.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and identifies the "left" humerus and "greater tuberosity."
• The "G" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for a fracture with delayed healing; do not use for initial treatment or routine follow-up without delayed healing.
• Confirm that the medical record supports the delayed healing status, often through physician notes or imaging reports.
