ICD-10-CMNondisplaced oblique fracture of shaft of humerus, right arm, subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing
This code signifies a fracture of the main part of the right upper arm bone (humerus) that runs at an angle, but the bone fragments are still in their normal alignment. The patient is in a later stage of treatment, and the fracture is not healing as quickly as expected.
Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a right humeral shaft fracture that was initially nondisplaced and oblique, but is now exhibiting delayed healing. This would be used during subsequent visits after the initial treatment, such as cast changes, physical therapy, or imaging to assess healing progress.
