Nondisp fx of coracoid pro, unsp shldr, 7thP

This code signifies a previously sustained fracture of the coracoid process that is now in a state of malunion, meaning it has healed in an abnormal or misaligned position. The fracture itself was nondisplaced, indicating the bone fragments remained in their anatomical alignment at the time of injury. This specific code is for an unspecified shoulder and represents a subsequent encounter for ongoing management of the malunion.

Use this code for patients presenting for follow-up care, evaluation, or treatment related to a malunited nondisplaced coracoid process fracture. This would apply when the initial injury has passed the acute phase and the focus is on addressing the consequences of the improper healing. It is appropriate for documentation of the malunion's status in the context of rehabilitation, pain management, or consideration of corrective procedures.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "malunion" and not "nonunion" or "delayed union" for accurate code selection.
• Verify the fracture was initially nondisplaced; displaced fractures of the coracoid process have different code assignments.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the fracture, as initial encounters or sequelae have distinct coding pathways.
