The closest code I found was 24435- Repair of nonunion or malunion, humerus; with iliac or other autograft (includes obtaining graft) but this was performed for a delayed union (by definition, it is not a nonunion, but clinically, it is an impending/possible nonunion).

When a broken bone fails to heal it is called a "nonunion." A "delayed union" is when a fracture takes longer than usual to heal.
Nonunion and malunion fractures are identified with defective healing: nonunion describes the failure of a fractured bone to heal and mend after an extended period of time; malunion refers to a fracture that has healed in a deformed position, or with shortening or rotation of the limb.
The shoulder (also known as the glenohumeral joint) is a ball and socket joint located where the top of the upper arm bone (humerus) meets the glenoid socket.
Proximal end. The proximal end of the humerus consists of a head, an anatomical neck and the greater and lesser tubercles.
Displaced fractures: A gap forms where the bone breaks. Often, this injury requires surgery to fix. Partial fractures: The break doesn't go all the way through the bone. Stress fractures: The bone gets a crack in it, which is sometimes tough to find with imaging.
The top of the humerus forms part of the shoulder joint with its connection to the scapula (shoulder blade), and the bottom of the humerus forms part of the elbow with the forearm. The middle of the humerus is called the humeral shaft and fracture of this part of the bone is called a humeral shaft fracture.
humerus, long bone of the upper limb or forelimb of land vertebrates that forms the shoulder joint above, where it articulates with a lateral depression of the shoulder blade (glenoid cavity of scapula), and the elbow joint below, where it articulates with projections of the ulna and the radius.
The humerus (/ˈhjuːmərəs/; pl. humeri) is a long bone in the arm that runs from the shoulder to the elbow. It connects the scapula and the two bones of the lower arm, the radius and ulna, and consists of three sections.
