Nondisp fx of body of scapula, unsp shldr, 7thK

This code signifies a fracture of the main part of the shoulder blade that has not shifted out of alignment, affecting an unspecified shoulder. The patient is in a later stage of care where the fracture has failed to heal properly, indicating a nonunion.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced scapular body fracture who is now experiencing a nonunion. This is appropriate for subsequent visits focused on managing the persistent lack of bone healing, such as for surgical planning or ongoing conservative management of the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and "nonunion" for the scapular body fracture.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
• Verify that the laterality of the shoulder (left or right) is not specified in the medical record.
