Disp fx of body of scapula, unsp shldr, 7thD

This code signifies a fracture located in the main part of the shoulder blade, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal anatomical alignment. The injury affects an unspecified shoulder, and the patient is currently in a follow-up phase where the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code for patients presenting for routine follow-up appointments after an initial diagnosis of a displaced scapular body fracture. This is appropriate when the physician documents normal healing progress and no new complications or delayed union. It would be used for subsequent visits during the typical healing period.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "body of scapula."
• Confirm the encounter is for subsequent care and not the initial treatment.
• Verify that the healing process is described as "routine" or "normal."
