Disp fx of acromial pro, unsp shldr, subs for fx w malunion

This code signifies a fracture of the acromial process, a part of the shoulder blade, that has healed improperly (malunion) and is no longer in its correct anatomical position (displaced). This specific code is used when the patient is receiving follow-up care for this previously diagnosed and treated fracture complication.

This code is appropriate for encounters where a patient presents for ongoing management, evaluation, or treatment of a malunited, displaced acromial fracture. This would include visits for physical therapy, re-evaluation of healing, or discussion of corrective surgical options after initial treatment. It is specifically for situations where the fracture has already been treated and is now demonstrating malunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and "displaced" for the acromial process fracture.
• Verify this is a "subsequent encounter" and not the initial treatment or an active healing phase without complications.
• Confirm the laterality is unspecified if not documented as left or right.
