Nondisp fx of glenoid cav of scapula, r shldr, 7thD

This code signifies a follow-up visit for a patient who sustained a fracture of the glenoid cavity, the socket portion of the shoulder blade, on the right side. The fracture is stable and has not shifted from its original position. The patient is currently in the routine healing phase of recovery.

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced right glenoid fracture is being monitored for routine healing. This includes appointments for cast checks, physical therapy evaluations during the healing process, or follow-up imaging to assess bone consolidation without complications. It should be used when the fracture is progressing as expected without any setbacks.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "right shoulder" for accurate code selection.
• Confirm the encounter is for routine healing and not for a complication or delayed healing, which would require a different seventh character.
• Verify this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
