Nondisp oblique fx shaft of humer, r arm, 7thD

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a patient with a right humerus shaft fracture that is oblique in nature and has not shifted out of alignment. At this stage, the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for subsequent visits where a patient is being monitored for a healing right humeral shaft fracture that was initially nondisplaced and oblique. It applies when the healing process is progressing routinely, such as during cast changes, follow-up X-rays showing callus formation, or physical therapy sessions for a stable fracture.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right arm" and "nondisplaced oblique fracture of shaft of humerus."
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter with routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or delayed/nonunion healing.
• Confirm the fracture type (oblique) and location (shaft of humerus) are explicitly stated in the medical record.
