Nondisp fx of neck of scapula, right shoulder, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual condition resulting from a fracture of the neck of the right scapula that was initially nondisplaced. It indicates that the acute phase of the fracture has passed, and the patient is now experiencing long-term effects or complications related to the previous injury.

Use this code when documenting a patient's current encounter for ongoing issues, such as pain, limited range of motion, deformity, or nonunion/malunion, directly attributable to a previously sustained nondisplaced right scapular neck fracture. This code is appropriate for follow-up care after the initial healing period, when the primary focus is on the sequelae.

• Always link this sequela code to an external cause code (V00-Y99) if the original injury's cause is known and relevant to the current encounter.
• Do not use this code for the initial treatment of an acute fracture; instead, use the appropriate acute fracture code.
• Ensure documentation clearly supports the "sequela" nature of the encounter, indicating the current condition is a direct result of the past fracture.
