S42.154G
ICD-10-CMNondisplaced fracture of neck of scapula, right shoulder, subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing
This code signifies a fracture of the neck of the right scapula that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments remain in their anatomical alignment. The "G" suffix indicates that this is a subsequent encounter for the fracture, specifically when there is documentation of delayed healing.
This code is appropriate for follow-up visits where a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced right scapular neck fracture is being monitored, and the physician notes that the healing process is taking longer than expected. This includes scenarios where imaging shows persistent fracture lines or clinical signs of delayed union.
