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

This code signifies a fracture of the main part of the left shoulder blade that is no longer in its proper anatomical alignment. The patient is currently in a phase of treatment where the fracture is not healing at the expected rate.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters for a left scapular body fracture where the displacement persists, and the physician documents delayed healing. It should be used after the initial treatment phase, during subsequent visits for ongoing management of the non-progressing fracture union.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "delayed healing" for the left scapular body fracture.
• Verify laterality (left shoulder) and the specific bone (scapula body) are clearly documented.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; do not use for the initial treatment of the fracture.
