Nondisp fx of less tuberosity of unsp humer, 7thD

This code describes a fracture of the lesser tuberosity of the humerus that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment. This specific code is used when the patient is seen for follow-up care during the routine healing phase of the fracture, and the laterality (left or right arm) is not documented.

Apply this code for subsequent encounters where a patient is being monitored for a nondisplaced lesser tuberosity fracture of an unspecified humerus, and the healing process is progressing as expected. This would include routine follow-up appointments, cast changes, or physical therapy evaluations during the initial healing period.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "lesser tuberosity" for accurate code assignment.
• Verify that the encounter is for follow-up care during routine healing, indicated by the 7th character "D".
• If laterality (left or right) is specified, a more specific code should be chosen.
