Disp fx of body of scapula, right shoulder, init for clos fx

This code signifies a break in the main part of the right shoulder blade that has shifted out of its normal anatomical alignment. It indicates the initial treatment phase for a fracture that has not broken through the skin.

Apply this code when documenting the initial encounter for a patient presenting with a closed, displaced fracture of the body of the right scapula, typically following direct trauma to the shoulder. This includes the initial assessment, stabilization, and definitive treatment planning.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "body of scapula" for accurate code assignment.
• Verify the encounter is indeed the "initial encounter" for this specific fracture.
• Confirm the fracture is "closed" (skin intact) to differentiate from open fractures.
