Oth osteopor w current path fracture, unsp shoulder, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual effect of an osteoporotic fracture in an unspecified shoulder, where the osteoporosis itself is not further specified. It indicates that the patient is experiencing a long-term complication or sequela directly attributable to a past pathological fracture caused by osteoporosis.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting for follow-up care, rehabilitation, or management of a chronic condition resulting from a previously sustained osteoporotic fracture of the shoulder. Documentation should clearly state that the fracture has healed but is causing ongoing issues, or that the patient is being seen for a late effect of the fracture.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "sequela" or "late effect" of the fracture.
• This code requires a seventh character of 'S' for sequela, indicating the long-term nature.
• Do not use this code for acute fractures; instead, use the appropriate M80.81- codes with an 'A' or 'D' seventh character.
