Disp fx of body of scapula, l shldr, 7thD

Displaced fracture of body of scapula, left shoulder, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing

📋Clinical Description

This code signifies a displaced break in the main part of the left shoulder blade that is currently in the routine healing phase. It indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for this specific fracture after the initial treatment.

🎯When to Use

Apply this code for subsequent visits where a patient is being monitored for a left scapular body fracture that was initially displaced and is now healing without complications. This includes routine cast checks, physical therapy evaluations, or follow-up imaging to assess healing progress.

💡Coding Tips

Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "body of scapula" for the left side.
The "D" seventh character indicates subsequent encounter with routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or delayed/nonunion healing.
Always confirm the laterality (left shoulder) is clearly documented.
