Nondisp fx of coracoid pro, r shldr, subs for fx w malunion

This code signifies a fracture of the coracoid process on the right shoulder that was initially nondisplaced but is now healing improperly, resulting in a malunion. The patient is currently undergoing treatment or follow-up for this previously diagnosed and treated fracture complication.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting for ongoing care, evaluation, or treatment of a right coracoid process fracture that has healed in an anatomically incorrect position. This includes scenarios where surgical correction of the malunion is being considered or performed, or during follow-up appointments to monitor the malunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and specifies the right shoulder and coracoid process.
• Verify the fracture was initially nondisplaced; if displaced, a different code would be appropriate.
• This is a "subsequent encounter" code, indicating the patient is past the initial active treatment phase for the acute fracture.
