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

This code signifies a fracture of the glenoid cavity, the socket portion of the shoulder blade, on the left side, which has been displaced from its normal anatomical position. The patient is currently in a phase of routine healing following initial treatment for this fracture.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing care for a previously diagnosed and treated displaced left glenoid cavity fracture. This applies when the fracture is progressing as expected without complications, such as delayed union or nonunion. It indicates that the patient is in the routine recovery phase.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "left shoulder" for the glenoid cavity fracture.
• Confirm the encounter is for follow-up care during the routine healing period, not initial treatment or a complication.
• Always sequence this code after any acute injury codes if the patient is still being treated for other related acute conditions.
