Oth disp fx of lower end of l humer, subs for fx w nonunion

This code signifies a fracture located at the distal end of the left humerus, which is displaced from its normal anatomical alignment. The "nonunion" aspect indicates that the fracture has failed to heal completely after a typical healing period, requiring ongoing medical management.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is being treated for a previously diagnosed displaced fracture of the lower left humerus that has not united. This includes situations where the patient is undergoing further interventions, monitoring, or evaluation for the nonunion.

• Always confirm laterality (left) and the specific bone (humerus) and location (lower end).
• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" for the fracture, indicating a failure of healing.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter would use a different code.
