Overview. After a bone breaks, modern treatment allows almost all to heal completely. In rare cases, however, a fracture does not heal, resulting in a nonunion. In other cases, the fracture takes far longer to heal than usual, which is called a delayed union.
Subsequent encounter (D) is used for encounters after the patient has received active treatment of the injury and is receiving routine care for the injury during the healing or recovery phase (e.g., cast change or removal, an x-ray to check healing status of fracture, removal of external or internal fixation device, ...

A humerus fracture is the medical name for breaking the bone in your upper arm (your humerus). Humerus fractures are usually caused by traumas like car accidents or falls. If you break your humerus, you might need surgery to repair your bone.
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.
2-PART FRACTURE: This is when the proximal humerus is broken into two pieces, meaning there is one fracture line on x-ray. Commonly, this will be a fracture of the greater tuberosity, which is the part of the humerus where the rotator cuff attaches.
The humerus — also known as the upper arm bone — is a long bone that runs from the shoulder and scapula (shoulder blade) to the elbow.
An impacted fracture refers to a fracture in which bone fragments have been driven into each other. A compression fracture is similar to an impaction fracture, but the term is applied to describe a fracture in which cancellous bone collapses and compresses upon itself.
