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

This code signifies a fracture of the glenoid cavity, the socket portion of the shoulder blade, on the left side, that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. The "subsequent encounter" indicates the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and "malunion" specifies that the bone is healing, but in an unsatisfactory or deformed position.

This code is appropriate for documentation of ongoing management of a left glenoid cavity fracture where the initial injury was nondisplaced, but the healing process has resulted in a malunion. This would be used during follow-up appointments, physical therapy sessions, or surgical consultations addressing the malunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "left" shoulder and "nondisplaced" at the time of initial injury.
• The "P" seventh character is crucial and indicates a subsequent encounter for a fracture with malunion.
• Confirm the physician's assessment explicitly states malunion of the fracture.
