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

This code signifies a fracture of the glenoid cavity, the socket portion of the shoulder blade, that has shifted out of its normal alignment. The injury is located in an unspecified shoulder. This specific code is used when the patient is seen for follow-up care and the fracture is healing as expected.

Apply this code for a patient presenting for a scheduled follow-up visit for a previously diagnosed displaced glenoid fracture of an unspecified shoulder. This is appropriate when the physician's documentation indicates routine healing progress without complications or delayed union. It would be used after the initial treatment phase, during the recovery period.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "glenoid cavity" for accurate coding.
• Verify the encounter is for "subsequent care" and not the initial treatment or a complication.
• Confirm the healing process is described as "routine" to differentiate from delayed or nonunion.
