Disp fx of coracoid pro, unsp shldr, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the coracoid process, a small hook-like projection from the scapula, where the bone fragments are not properly aligned. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is experiencing delayed healing, meaning it is taking longer than expected to mend. The specific shoulder affected is not documented.

Apply this code when a patient presents for follow-up care of a previously diagnosed displaced coracoid process fracture that is not healing at the anticipated rate. This would typically involve ongoing management, such as repeat imaging, physical therapy, or consideration of further intervention due to the delayed union.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "displaced" and "delayed healing" for a coracoid process fracture.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not an initial treatment.
• If the specific shoulder (left or right) is known, a more specific code should be used.
