Nondisp fx of nk of scapula, l shldr, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the neck of the left scapula that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments remain in their anatomical position. It is specifically used when the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture and the healing process is progressing slower than expected.

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced left scapular neck fracture is being monitored for delayed union. This includes situations where imaging shows persistent fracture lines beyond the typical healing timeframe, or clinical signs indicate inadequate progress towards recovery.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" for the fracture.
• Verify the fracture location is specifically the "neck of scapula" and on the "left" side.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
