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

This code signifies a fracture of the glenoid cavity (socket of the shoulder joint) in the left shoulder that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal alignment. The patient is currently in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is healing slower than expected.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced left glenoid fracture is experiencing delayed healing. This includes situations where imaging shows incomplete union beyond the typical healing timeframe, or the patient continues to experience significant pain or functional limitations due to the slow healing process.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "left shoulder" for the glenoid fracture.
• Verify that the encounter is for follow-up care and not the initial treatment of the fracture.
• Look for explicit documentation of "delayed healing" to support the seventh character 'G'.
