Nondisp fx of acromial pro, l shldr, subs for fx w nonunion

This code signifies a non-displaced break in the acromial process of the left shoulder that has failed to heal properly. It indicates that the patient is receiving ongoing treatment for this specific fracture nonunion.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient is being managed for a previously diagnosed, non-displaced left acromial fracture that has not united. This includes visits for continued conservative management, evaluation for surgical intervention, or post-operative care related to the nonunion.

• Always confirm the laterality (left shoulder) and the specific bone (acromial process).
• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and that the fracture was initially "nondisplaced."
• This "K" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for a fracture with nonunion, not an initial treatment or routine healing.
