Disp fx of coracoid process, right shoulder, sequela

This code signifies a long-term complication or late effect stemming from a previously displaced fracture of the coracoid process in the right shoulder. It indicates that the initial injury has healed, but residual issues or conditions related to that specific fracture persist.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing pain, limited range of motion, instability, or other chronic problems directly attributable to a past displaced coracoid fracture of the right shoulder. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing these persistent sequelae, not the initial acute injury or routine follow-up during the healing phase.

• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the previous displaced coracoid fracture.
• This code is for sequelae, meaning the acute phase of the fracture has passed. Do not use for initial treatment or active healing.
• Always code the specific nature of the sequela (e.g., chronic pain, malunion, nonunion) in addition to this sequela code.
