Disp fx of coracoid pro, l shldr, subs for fx w delay heal

This code signifies a fracture of the coracoid process, a hook-like projection from the scapula, on the left side, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal alignment. The "G" seventh character indicates that the patient is in a subsequent phase of care for this fracture, specifically experiencing delayed healing.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced left coracoid process fracture is presenting with evidence of delayed healing. This could include situations where imaging shows incomplete callus formation beyond the expected timeframe, or the patient continues to experience significant pain and functional limitations due to the slow healing process.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "displaced" and "left shoulder" for the coracoid process fracture.
• The "G" seventh character requires explicit documentation of delayed healing, not just routine follow-up.
• Verify that this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
