Torus fx upper end of l humerus, subs for fx w routn heal

This code describes a specific type of incomplete fracture, often seen in children, affecting the upper part of the left humerus where the bone buckles or bulges without a complete break. The "subsequent encounter" indicates the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, which is currently healing as expected without complications.

Use this code for follow-up visits where a patient is being monitored for a torus fracture of the proximal left humerus. This applies when the fracture is progressing through routine healing, such as cast checks, physical therapy evaluations, or follow-up imaging to assess bone consolidation. Do not use for initial treatment or if complications arise.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left" humerus and "torus" fracture type.
• Confirm the encounter is for follow-up care and not the initial treatment.
• Verify that the healing process is documented as "routine" or "uncomplicated" to justify the "D" seventh character.
