Nondisp transverse fx shaft of humerus, left arm, init

This code signifies a fracture of the main part (shaft) of the left upper arm bone (humerus) that runs straight across the bone. The bone fragments are still in their normal alignment, and the skin over the fracture is intact.

Apply this code for initial treatment of a left humeral shaft fracture where imaging confirms a transverse pattern and no displacement. This would be used for patients presenting to the emergency department or clinic for the first time with this specific injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left" arm and "transverse" fracture pattern.
• Verify the fracture is "nondisplaced" and "closed" (no open wound communicating with the fracture).
• The "A" in the seventh character indicates an initial encounter for active treatment.
