Nondisp oblique fx shaft of humer, unsp arm, 7thK

This code signifies a specific type of humerus fracture where the break is at an angle (oblique) along the shaft of the bone, and the bone fragments are still in their normal alignment (nondisplaced). It indicates that the patient is receiving ongoing care for this fracture, but the bone has failed to heal properly (nonunion). The affected arm is not specified.

Use this code for follow-up encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced oblique humerus shaft fracture is being treated for a nonunion. This applies when the physician is actively managing the nonunion, such as discussing surgical intervention, prescribing bone growth stimulators, or monitoring the healing process.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" for the fracture.
• Verify the fracture is specifically described as "nondisplaced" and "oblique" of the humerus shaft.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter would use a different seventh character.
