Nondisp fx of less tuberosity of unsp humer, 7thK

This code signifies a fracture of the lesser tuberosity of the humerus that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments remain in their anatomical position. The "subsequent encounter" indicates the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and "nonunion" specifies that the bone has failed to heal properly after a typical healing period.

Apply this code when a patient presents for ongoing management of a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced lesser tuberosity fracture where imaging or clinical assessment confirms the fracture has not united. This would be used for visits related to continued treatment, evaluation of nonunion, or planning for interventions to address the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and specifies the "lesser tuberosity."
• Verify the encounter is for follow-up care of the fracture, not the initial injury.
• Confirm the presence of "nonunion" as documented by the provider.
