Nondisp fx of coracoid process, right shoulder, init

This code signifies a break in the coracoid process, a small, hook-like projection on the scapula (shoulder blade), specifically on the right side. The fracture is "nondisplaced," meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment. This code is used for the initial treatment of a closed fracture, where the skin remains intact over the injury.

Apply this code when documenting the initial diagnosis and treatment of a patient presenting with a right shoulder injury confirmed by imaging (e.g., X-ray) to be a nondisplaced fracture of the coracoid process. This is appropriate for the first encounter for this specific injury, prior to any definitive surgical or non-surgical treatment plan being fully implemented.

• Ensure imaging reports specifically confirm a "nondisplaced" fracture of the coracoid process.
• Verify the laterality is "right shoulder" as specified by the code.
• This "initial encounter" code is only used for the first time the patient is seen for this specific injury. Subsequent encounters for routine healing or follow-up would use a different seventh character.
