Nondisp fx of less tuberosity of unsp humer, 7thP

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a patient who previously sustained a fracture of the lesser tuberosity of the humerus, where the fracture is not in its original anatomical position and has healed or is healing in a deformed way. The specific humerus (left or right) is not documented.

Apply this code when a patient presents for ongoing management, evaluation, or treatment of a lesser tuberosity fracture that has healed incorrectly, resulting in malunion. This would include visits for physical therapy, re-evaluation of the malunion, or discussion of corrective surgical options after the initial treatment phase.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and specifies the lesser tuberosity.
• Verify that the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
• If the laterality (left or right humerus) is documented, choose a more specific code.
