Nondisp fx of body of scapula, r shldr, 7thP

This code describes a fracture of the main part of the right shoulder blade that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal alignment. The "P" seventh character indicates that this is a subsequent encounter for a fracture that has healed incorrectly, resulting in malunion.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits where a patient is being treated for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced right scapular body fracture that has healed in an unsatisfactory position. This would include evaluations for pain, limited range of motion, or other complications directly related to the malunion. It should be used when the malunion is the primary focus of the encounter.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and specifies the "body" of the scapula.
• Verify the laterality is "right shoulder."
• The "P" seventh character is crucial and indicates a subsequent encounter for a fracture with malunion. Do not use for initial treatment or routine follow-up without malunion.
