ICD-10-CMNondisplaced fracture of coracoid process, unspecified shoulder, subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion
This code signifies a fracture of the coracoid process in an unspecified shoulder that has not healed properly (nonunion) and is being treated in a follow-up encounter. The bone fragments remain in their anatomical position, meaning they are not displaced. This indicates a persistent issue with bone healing after the initial injury.
Use this code for patients presenting for ongoing management of a coracoid process fracture where imaging or clinical assessment confirms nonunion. This applies to visits for continued treatment, evaluation of healing progress, or preparation for further intervention due to the lack of successful bone fusion. It is appropriate for any encounter after the initial treatment phase.
