Nondisp fx of coracoid process, left shoulder, sequela

This code indicates a past injury to the coracoid process of the left shoulder that was nondisplaced, and the patient is now presenting with a long-term complication or residual effect of that fracture. This could include chronic pain, limited range of motion, or other persistent issues directly attributable to the healed fracture.

Use this code when documenting a patient encounter for a sequela (late effect) of a previously sustained, nondisplaced fracture of the left coracoid process. This applies when the initial fracture has healed, but the patient continues to experience problems related to the injury. Examples include follow-up for chronic pain after fracture healing, or assessment of permanent functional impairment.

• Always use a secondary code to specify the nature of the sequela (e.g., chronic pain, malunion, nonunion, functional limitation).
• This code is for healed fractures with residual effects; do not use for active treatment of an acute or subacute fracture.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the previous left coracoid fracture.
