Nondisp fx of coracoid process, unsp shldr, init for opn fx

This code signifies a break in the coracoid process of the shoulder that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. The fracture is open, meaning there is a wound extending from the skin surface to the bone, and this is the initial treatment encounter for the injury. The specific shoulder (left or right) is not documented.

Apply this code when documentation confirms an open, nondisplaced fracture of the coracoid process, and the laterality of the shoulder is unspecified. This code is appropriate for the initial phase of treatment, such as emergency department visits or initial surgical interventions.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and "open fracture" for the coracoid process.
• Only use this code for the initial encounter for treatment of the fracture; subsequent care will require a different seventh character.
• If laterality (left or right shoulder) is specified, a more precise code should be selected.
