Disp fx of body of scapula, right shoulder, sequela

This code signifies a long-term complication or late effect arising from a previously displaced fracture of the main part of the right shoulder blade. The initial injury involved a break in the body of the scapula where the bone fragments were not in their normal alignment. The "sequela" indicates that the patient is now experiencing residual problems directly attributable to that past injury.

This code is used when a patient presents with a current condition or symptom that is a direct consequence of a healed or healing displaced fracture of the right scapular body. Examples include chronic pain, limited range of motion, nonunion, malunion, or degenerative changes at the fracture site, occurring long after the initial injury. It should be assigned for follow-up care related to the lasting effects of the fracture, not for the initial acute injury.

• Always assign an additional code(s) to specify the nature of the sequela (e.g., M25.511 for chronic right shoulder pain, M96.0 for pseudarthrosis).
• Do not use this code for the initial encounter or active treatment of the acute fracture.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the previous displaced right scapular body fracture.
