Nondisp fx of coracoid process, unsp shoulder, init

This code signifies a break in the coracoid process of the scapula that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. The injury affects an unspecified shoulder, meaning laterality (left or right) is not documented. This is the initial encounter for a fracture where the skin remains intact over the injury site.

Apply this code when documentation confirms a non-displaced coracoid process fracture without specifying left or right shoulder involvement. This is appropriate for the first visit where the fracture is diagnosed and treated, and there is no open wound communicating with the fracture.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and "coracoid process fracture."
• Only use this code if laterality is truly unspecified; otherwise, choose a more specific code.
• The "A" at the end indicates an initial encounter for a closed fracture. Do not use for subsequent care or open fractures.
