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

This code signifies a non-displaced fracture of the main part of the shoulder blade, where the specific shoulder (left or right) is not documented. The fracture, though initially non-displaced, has healed improperly, resulting in a malunion. This code is used during follow-up care for this specific complication.

Use this code when a patient presents for ongoing treatment of a scapular body fracture that has healed in an unsatisfactory position. This applies when the initial injury was a non-displaced fracture and the later assessment confirms malunion. It is appropriate for subsequent encounters after the initial treatment phase.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and specifies the "body of scapula."
• Confirm the fracture was initially "nondisplaced" and the encounter is "subsequent."
• If the specific shoulder is known, a more precise code should be selected.
