Disp fx of coracoid process, l shldr, subs for fx w nonunion

This code signifies a fracture of the coracoid process in the left shoulder that is no longer in its anatomical alignment. The patient is presenting for follow-up care related to this fracture, which has failed to heal properly, indicating a nonunion.

This code is appropriate for encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed and treated displaced left coracoid process fracture is being managed for a confirmed nonunion. This includes follow-up appointments, imaging studies, or discussions regarding further intervention for the unhealed fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "left" shoulder and "displaced" nature of the fracture.
• Verify that the encounter is for ongoing management of the nonunion, not the initial injury or routine healing.
• Always sequence this code after the primary reason for the encounter if the nonunion is a secondary diagnosis.
