Disp fx of glenoid cav of scapula, r shldr, 7thD

This code signifies a displaced break in the glenoid cavity of the right shoulder blade, indicating that the bone fragments are not in their normal alignment. It is used when the patient is receiving follow-up care for this specific fracture and the healing process is progressing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for subsequent visits after the initial treatment of a displaced right glenoid fracture, such as cast changes, follow-up X-rays, or physical therapy appointments, as long as routine healing is occurring. It should be applied when the physician documents the fracture as healing normally during a later stage of care.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "right shoulder" for the glenoid fracture.
• Confirm the encounter is for follow-up care and not the initial treatment or a complication.
• Verify the physician's assessment indicates "routine healing" or similar language.
