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

This code signifies a fracture of the glenoid cavity (the socket of the shoulder joint) on the right side that is no longer in its proper anatomical alignment. Importantly, the fracture has failed to heal properly, resulting in a nonunion, and the patient is presenting for follow-up care related to this ongoing issue.

Apply this code when a patient with a previously diagnosed and treated displaced right glenoid fracture presents for an office visit, imaging, or other services specifically addressing the fact that the fracture has not united. This is appropriate for subsequent encounters where the nonunion is the primary focus of the visit.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and "displaced" for the right glenoid fracture.
• Verify this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
• Confirm the laterality is explicitly documented as "right shoulder."
