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

This code signifies a previously treated fracture of the glenoid cavity (shoulder socket) that has healed in an anatomically incorrect or misaligned position. The fracture itself was not displaced at the time of initial injury, and the specific shoulder (left or right) is not documented. This code is used when the patient is receiving ongoing care for the malunion.

Apply this code for patients presenting for follow-up appointments, physical therapy, or surgical intervention specifically addressing a malunited nondisplaced glenoid cavity fracture. This is appropriate when the initial treatment for the fracture has concluded, and the current encounter focuses on managing the suboptimal healing outcome.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and specifies a "subsequent encounter" for the fracture.
• Verify the fracture was initially "nondisplaced" and the specific shoulder is "unspecified."
• Do not use for initial fracture treatment or for nonunion, which is a different complication.
