- Fracture, traumatic › stress › humerus (abduction) (adduction) (separation)
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from M84.3
The conditions below can never be reported together with M84.321S on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
Use additional code — inherited from M84.3
Report an additional code alongside M84.321S to fully describe the condition. M84.321S is sequenced first.
- external cause code(s) to identify the cause of the stress fracture
