ICD-10-CMFracture of other part of scapula, right shoulder, subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion
This code signifies a fracture affecting a non-specific part of the right scapula, excluding the acromial process or coracoid process. The key aspect is that the fracture has failed to heal properly, indicating a nonunion, and the patient is receiving ongoing treatment for this complication.
Apply this code when documentation confirms a right scapular fracture (not specified as acromial or coracoid) that has not united, and the patient is presenting for follow-up care, surgical intervention for nonunion, or other management related to the persistent fracture. This is appropriate for subsequent encounters after the initial treatment of the fracture.
