Nondisp fx of acromial process, unsp shoulder, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual condition resulting from a nondisplaced fracture of the acromial process, located in an unspecified shoulder. It indicates that the initial fracture has resolved, but there are ongoing effects or complications attributable to the previous injury.

This code is appropriate for documenting long-term effects or complications of a previously sustained, nondisplaced acromial process fracture when the specific shoulder (left or right) is not documented. It should be used for follow-up encounters where the sequela of the fracture is being addressed, rather than the acute injury itself.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following a code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the prior acromial fracture.
• Avoid using this code for acute or active fractures; use the appropriate acute fracture code instead.
