Nondisp oblique fx shaft of humer, l arm, 7thP

This code signifies a left humerus shaft fracture that is not displaced and has an oblique pattern, where the bone has healed but in an imperfect alignment. This specific code is used when the patient is receiving follow-up care for this malunited fracture.

Apply this code when a patient presents for evaluation or treatment of a previously sustained left humeral shaft fracture that has healed with malunion. This would include scenarios such as physical therapy for range of motion limitations due to the malunion, or follow-up imaging to assess the extent of the malunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and specifies the left arm.
• Verify the fracture was of the shaft and had an oblique pattern.
• This "P" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for a fracture with malunion, not initial treatment.
