Disp fx of body of scapula, r shldr, 7thG

This code signifies a right shoulder blade fracture where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal alignment, and the healing process is taking longer than expected. It indicates that the patient is receiving ongoing care for this specific injury after the initial treatment phase.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced fracture of the right scapular body who is experiencing delayed union. This applies to encounters where the focus is on monitoring healing progress, managing complications related to delayed healing, or planning further interventions.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" and specifies the right shoulder.
• Verify that the encounter is not the initial treatment for the fracture.
• Confirm the fracture is of the body of the scapula, not another part like the neck or glenoid.
