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

This code describes a fracture of the glenoid cavity, the socket portion of the shoulder blade, on the left side, that is not displaced. It indicates that the patient is in a follow-up phase of care where the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for subsequent visits after the initial treatment of a left glenoid fracture, when the fracture fragments remain in their anatomical position and are progressing through a normal healing process. It would be used for routine follow-up appointments, cast changes, or physical therapy sessions during the healing period.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "left shoulder" for accurate coding.
• Confirm the encounter type is "subsequent" and healing is "routine" to differentiate from initial or delayed healing encounters.
• Do not use for initial treatment or if the fracture is displaced or experiencing delayed/nonunion healing.
