Disp fx of less tuberosity of r humer, 7thD

This code signifies a fracture of the lesser tuberosity on the patient's right humerus that is no longer in its anatomical alignment. The patient is in a follow-up phase of treatment, and the fracture is progressing as expected towards full recovery.

Apply this code when documenting a subsequent visit for a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced fracture of the right humeral lesser tuberosity. This is appropriate when the physician assesses the fracture and notes routine healing without complications or delayed union.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "lesser tuberosity" for accurate coding.
• The 7th character "D" indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing; use "A" for initial encounters.
• Confirm the laterality is "right" as specified in the code description.
