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

This code signifies a fracture of the glenoid cavity, the socket of the shoulder joint, on the left side, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal alignment. This injury typically results in significant pain and limited range of motion in the affected shoulder.

This code is appropriate for the initial encounter with a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, displaced fracture of the left glenoid cavity that is being treated non-surgically (closed fracture). It would be used when the patient is first seen for this specific injury.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "displaced" and "left shoulder" for accurate code assignment.
• Verify that this is the patient's initial encounter for this specific fracture.
• Confirm that the fracture is being managed as a closed fracture, without surgical intervention at this stage.
