Disp fx of less tuberosity of l humer, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the lesser tuberosity of the left humerus that is no longer in its anatomical position. The patient is in a phase of treatment where the fracture is not healing as expected, indicating a delayed union.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced left humeral lesser tuberosity fracture is experiencing delayed healing. This would include situations where imaging shows incomplete bone formation or persistent fracture lines beyond the typical healing timeframe.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" for this specific fracture.
• Verify laterality (left) and the specific anatomical site (lesser tuberosity).
• Do not use for initial encounters or for fractures healing normally.
