Nondisp fx of acromial process, left shoulder, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual condition resulting from a left shoulder fracture specifically affecting the acromial process, where the bone fragments remained in their anatomical position during the initial injury. It indicates that the patient is experiencing ongoing problems or complications directly attributable to this past injury, even after the acute phase has resolved.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with long-term pain, stiffness, limited range of motion, or other chronic issues in the left shoulder that are a direct consequence of a previously sustained, nondisplaced acromial fracture. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing these persistent sequelae, not for the initial acute injury.

• Always ensure documentation clearly links the current symptoms or condition to the historical nondisplaced left acromial fracture.
• Do not use this code for the initial acute injury; a specific acute fracture code would be used at that time.
• Consider additional codes for specific sequelae, such as chronic pain (G89.29) or joint stiffness (M25.612), if clearly documented.
