Nondisp fx of acromial process, left shoulder, init

This code signifies a break in the acromial process, the bony projection at the top of the shoulder blade, specifically on the left side. The fracture is stable, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical position.

Apply this code for the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the left acromion. This includes cases resulting from direct trauma or falls where the bone has not shifted out of alignment.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "left shoulder" for accurate code assignment.
• Confirm this is the patient's first encounter for this specific fracture.
• Verify the fracture is closed; if open, a different code would be necessary.
