Disp fx of glenoid cavity of scapula, right shoulder, init

This code signifies a break in the glenoid cavity, the socket portion of the shoulder blade, on the right side. The fracture fragments are not in their anatomical alignment, indicating displacement.

This code is appropriate for the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, displaced fracture of the right glenoid cavity that has not broken through the skin. This would include scenarios such as a fall directly onto the shoulder or a direct impact.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "right shoulder" for accurate code assignment.
• Verify the encounter is for initial treatment; subsequent encounters will require different seventh characters.
• Confirm the fracture is "closed" (skin intact) before using this code.
