Disp fx of nk of scapula, l shldr, subs for fx w delay heal

This code describes a fracture of the neck of the left scapula that is no longer in its anatomical position. The patient is currently in a phase of treatment where the fracture is not healing at the expected rate, indicating delayed union.

This code is used for follow-up encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced left scapular neck fracture is experiencing delayed healing. It applies when the patient is receiving ongoing care, such as cast changes, physical therapy, or medication adjustments, specifically due to the slow healing process.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" for this specific fracture site.
• Verify the fracture is indeed of the neck of the scapula and on the left side.
• This code is for subsequent encounters, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
