Nondisp transverse fx shaft of humerus, right arm, sequela

This code indicates a healed or residual condition resulting from a transverse fracture of the shaft of the right humerus that was not displaced at the time of injury. It signifies that the acute phase of the fracture has passed, and the patient is now experiencing long-term effects or complications related to the previous injury.

Apply this code when documenting a patient's current encounter for a sequela (e.g., pain, stiffness, limited range of motion, nonunion, malunion) directly attributable to a previously sustained, nondisplaced transverse fracture of the right humeral shaft. This code is appropriate for follow-up visits occurring long after the initial healing period.

• Always assign an additional code to specify the nature of the sequela (e.g., M25.511 for right shoulder pain).
• Do not use this code for initial treatment or active healing of the fracture; those require acute fracture codes.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past fracture and specifies the right arm.
