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

This code signifies a fracture of the scapular neck that has not shifted from its anatomical position, affecting an unspecified shoulder. The "subsequent encounter" indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and "malunion" specifies that the fracture has healed, but in an unsatisfactory or deformed alignment.

Use this code when documenting a patient's follow-up visit for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced scapular neck fracture where the healing process has resulted in a malunion. This applies to situations where the specific shoulder (left or right) was not documented or is unknown. This code would be appropriate for ongoing management, assessment of function, or planning for corrective procedures related to the malunited fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and "malunion" for the scapular neck fracture.
• Only use this code when the specific shoulder is not documented; otherwise, use a more specific code for left or right shoulder.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter for the same fracture would use a different code.
