Nondisp fx of lesser tuberosity of right humerus, init

This code signifies a break in the lesser tuberosity, a small bony prominence on the front of the humerus (upper arm bone), specifically on the right side. The fracture is described as nondisplaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment.

This code is appropriate for the initial visit where a patient presents with a newly diagnosed, closed fracture of the right humeral lesser tuberosity that has not shifted from its original position. This often occurs due to direct trauma or a fall onto an outstretched arm.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "lesser tuberosity" for accurate coding.
• Verify the encounter is indeed the "initial encounter" for this specific injury.
• Confirm the fracture is "closed" (skin intact) as opposed to an open fracture.
