Nondisp fx of nk of scapula, unsp shldr, 7thD

This code describes a shoulder injury involving a break in the neck of the scapula (shoulder blade) that has not shifted out of its normal anatomical position. The "subsequent encounter" indicates the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, which is progressing with expected, routine healing.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits where a patient is being monitored for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced scapular neck fracture. It applies when the fracture is healing without complications and the patient is not experiencing delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "neck of scapula" for accurate coding.
• Verify the encounter is for routine follow-up and not for initial treatment or complications.
• Confirm the laterality (unspecified shoulder) matches the clinical documentation.
