Disp fx of body of scapula, unsp shldr, 7thP

This code signifies a fracture of the main part of the shoulder blade that has shifted out of its normal alignment and is currently healing incorrectly (malunion). The specific shoulder (left or right) is not documented. This is not the initial treatment for the fracture, but rather a follow-up encounter addressing the malunion.

Apply this code for patients presenting for evaluation or treatment of a previously diagnosed, displaced scapular body fracture that is now healing in an unsatisfactory position. This would include scenarios where surgical correction of the malunion is being planned or performed, or conservative management of the malunion is being monitored.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and that the fracture is of the "body" of the scapula.
• Verify this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
• If the laterality (left or right shoulder) is specified in the documentation, a more specific code should be used.
