Nondisp fx of greater tuberosity of unsp humer, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the greater tuberosity of the humerus that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments remain in their anatomical alignment. The "subsequent encounter" indicates the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and "delayed healing" specifies that the bone is not mending at the expected rate.

Apply this code for patients presenting for ongoing treatment of a greater tuberosity fracture where imaging or clinical assessment confirms the fracture is still present and healing is progressing slower than anticipated. This would be used after the initial treatment phase and before the fracture has fully united.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" for the greater tuberosity fracture.
• Verify the encounter is for follow-up care, not initial treatment or routine healing.
• Laterality is unspecified; if known, a more specific code should be used.
