Disp fx of less tuberosity of l humer, 7thD

This code signifies a fracture of the lesser tuberosity on the left humerus that has shifted from its normal anatomical position. The patient is in a follow-up phase of treatment, and the fracture is progressing as expected with routine healing.

This code is appropriate for documenting subsequent encounters for a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced left humeral lesser tuberosity fracture. It should be used when the physician assesses the fracture and confirms that healing is proceeding without complications. This includes routine follow-up appointments after initial treatment.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "left humerus" for accurate coding.
• Verify the encounter type is "subsequent" and healing is "routine" to differentiate from initial treatment or delayed/nonunion healing.
• Always review the full medical record to confirm laterality and the stage of healing.
