Oth osteopor w current path fracture, l shoulder, sequela

This code signifies a healed or chronic pathological fracture of the left shoulder due to osteoporosis that is not specified as postmenopausal, age-related, or drug-induced. The fracture is no longer acute, but the long-term effects or complications of the fracture are still being addressed.

Apply this code when a patient presents for follow-up care, rehabilitation, or management of residual symptoms related to a past osteoporotic fracture of the left shoulder. Documentation should clearly indicate that the fracture is no longer current (e.g., "healed fracture," "old fracture," "sequela of fracture") and that the underlying osteoporosis is not otherwise specified.

• Always sequence this sequela code after the primary reason for the encounter.
• Ensure documentation specifies "left shoulder" and that the fracture is pathological due to osteoporosis.
• Distinguish from acute fractures (M80.0-M80.8 with 7th character A, B, or D) and pathological fractures due to other underlying conditions.
