Nondisp spiral fx shaft of humer, r arm, 7thG

This code signifies a right humerus shaft fracture that is spiral in nature and remains nondisplaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, specifically experiencing delayed healing of this fracture.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed right humeral shaft spiral fracture that is not healing at the expected rate. This would typically involve ongoing monitoring, imaging, and potentially interventions to promote bone union. It is used when the patient presents for an encounter related to the continued management of this specific fracture with documented delayed healing.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "delayed healing" for the subsequent encounter.
• Verify the fracture is indeed spiral and nondisplaced, and located in the shaft of the right humerus.
• Do not use this code for initial encounters or for fractures healing normally.
