Age-rel osteopor w current path fx, l shoulder, sequela

This code signifies a patient experiencing a pathological fracture of the left shoulder due to age-related osteoporosis, where the fracture itself is no longer acute but the long-term effects or complications of the fracture are being addressed. It indicates that the patient is in the healing phase or is experiencing residual problems stemming from the original osteoporotic fracture.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a healed or healing pathological fracture of the left shoulder caused by age-related osteoporosis, and the patient is presenting for follow-up care related to the long-term consequences of that fracture. This includes scenarios where the patient is experiencing chronic pain, limited range of motion, or other persistent issues directly attributable to the past fracture.

• Requires a seventh character "S" for sequela, indicating the long-term effects of a past injury or condition.
• Do not use for acute fractures; those require a different seventh character (e.g., A, D, G, K, P).
• Ensure documentation specifies "age-related" or "postmenopausal" osteoporosis to differentiate from other types.
