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

This code signifies a displaced fracture of the glenoid cavity, which is the socket portion of the shoulder joint on the scapula. The "malunion" indicates that the fracture has healed, but in an incorrect or suboptimal anatomical position. The "subsequent encounter" specifies that this is not the initial treatment for the fracture.

This code is appropriate when a patient presents for follow-up care of a previously treated glenoid fracture that has healed with malunion. It would be used for encounters related to assessing the malunion, planning corrective surgery, or managing ongoing symptoms resulting from the malunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "displaced" and "malunion" for the glenoid fracture.
• Verify this is a subsequent encounter and not the initial treatment or an encounter for routine healing without complication.
• Always code the specific shoulder (left/right) if documented; "unspecified shoulder" should only be used when laterality is not documented.
