Nondisp fx of acromial pro, unsp shldr, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the acromial process in an unspecified shoulder that is not displaced. It is specifically used when the patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is experiencing delayed healing.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced acromial fracture is presenting with evidence of delayed union or nonunion. This would include scenarios where imaging or clinical assessment indicates the fracture is not healing at the expected rate.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "delayed healing" for the subsequent encounter.
• Verify the fracture is indeed nondisplaced and located in the acromial process.
• Confirm the encounter is not the initial treatment for the fracture.
