ICD-10-CMNondisplaced segmental fracture of shaft of humerus, unspecified arm, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing
This code describes a follow-up encounter for a patient who sustained a fracture in the middle section (shaft) of the humerus, the long bone of the upper arm. The fracture involves multiple breaks within the same bone segment (segmental) and the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment (nondisplaced). Healing is progressing as expected.
Use this code for subsequent visits where a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced segmental humerus shaft fracture (unspecified arm) is being monitored for routine healing. This applies when the fracture is mending without complications and no active treatment for delayed union or nonunion is being performed.
