Nondisp fx of acromial process, right shoulder, sequela

This code signifies a past injury involving a break in the acromial process of the right shoulder that did not shift from its original position. The "sequela" indicates that this code is used to report conditions or complications arising as a direct result of this previous fracture, even after the initial healing period.

This code is appropriate when a patient presents with a current condition, such as chronic pain, limited range of motion, or nonunion, that is directly attributable to a previously sustained, nondisplaced fracture of the right acromial process. It should be used for follow-up care or treatment of long-term effects of the original injury.

• Always assign an additional code(s) to specify the nature of the sequela (e.g., M25.511 for chronic right shoulder pain).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the historical nondisplaced acromial fracture.
• Do not use this code for the initial treatment of the acute fracture; use the appropriate acute fracture code for that encounter.
