Disp fx of neck of scapula, right shoulder, sequela

This code signifies a long-term complication or late effect stemming from a previously sustained fracture of the neck of the right scapula, where the bone fragments were not in their anatomical alignment. This could include chronic pain, limited range of motion, nonunion, malunion, or other persistent issues directly attributable to the original injury.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting for treatment of a current condition that is a direct consequence of a past, displaced fracture of the right scapular neck. This is appropriate for follow-up care addressing residual problems after the initial healing phase of the fracture has concluded.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) describing the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, nonunion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the prior displaced right scapular neck fracture.
• Do not use for initial treatment of the acute fracture or for routine follow-up without a documented sequela.
