Nondisp fx of body of scapula, left shoulder, init

This code signifies a fracture of the main part of the left shoulder blade that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. The skin overlying the fracture remains intact, indicating a closed injury.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the body of the left scapula. This is appropriate for the initial treatment phase of the injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "body of scapula" for the left side.
• Confirm the encounter is for the initial treatment of a closed fracture.
• Later encounters for follow-up care or healing will require different seventh characters.
