Nondisp fx of neck of scapula, right shoulder, init

This code signifies a break in the neck of the right shoulder blade that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. This injury involves the narrowest part of the scapula, connecting the body to the glenoid cavity. It is an acute injury, meaning it is the first time the patient is being treated for this specific fracture.

This code is appropriate for documenting the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the right scapular neck. This would include the initial evaluation, imaging, and management plan for the closed fracture. It is used for the first encounter related to this specific injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right shoulder" and "nondisplaced" for accurate code assignment.
• Confirm the fracture is closed; open fractures would require a different seventh character.
• This "A" seventh character is only for the initial encounter; subsequent care would use different seventh characters.
