Fx oth prt scapula, l shoulder, subs for fx w routn heal

This code signifies a fracture affecting any part of the left scapula, excluding the acromial process, coracoid process, or glenoid cavity. The patient is in the healing phase of the fracture, and the healing process is progressing as expected without complications.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing care for a left scapular fracture (other specified parts) that is healing routinely. This would include visits for cast changes, physical therapy assessments, or general follow-up appointments during the expected healing period.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "left" shoulder and "other part of scapula" to differentiate from more specific scapular fracture sites.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for a fracture with routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or delayed/nonunion healing.
• Verify that the encounter is for ongoing management of the fracture, not for a new injury or complication.
