Nondisp fx of coracoid process, right shoulder, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual condition resulting from a prior fracture of the coracoid process in the right shoulder. Although the initial fracture was nondisplaced, the "sequela" indicates that there are ongoing effects or complications related to that past injury. These effects could include chronic pain, limited range of motion, or other persistent issues.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with long-term problems directly attributable to a previously sustained, nondisplaced right coracoid process fracture. This is appropriate for follow-up visits where the acute fracture has healed, but the patient continues to experience symptoms or functional limitations. It should be used when the "sequela" is the primary reason for the encounter.

• Always ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past right coracoid fracture.
• Do not use this code for the initial acute fracture; it is specifically for the long-term effects.
• Consider additional codes for specific sequelae (e.g., chronic pain, adhesive capsulitis) if documented.
