Disp fx of glenoid cav of scapula, r shldr, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the glenoid cavity, the socket portion of the shoulder blade, on the right side, that has shifted out of its normal anatomical position. The patient is currently receiving care for this fracture, but the healing process is taking longer than typically expected.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care for a right glenoid fracture that was initially displaced and is now exhibiting delayed healing. This applies to situations where the patient is still under active treatment for the fracture, and the physician notes that the bone union is not progressing at the anticipated rate.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "right shoulder" and "displaced" for the glenoid fracture.
• The "G" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for a fracture with delayed healing; do not use for initial treatment or routine follow-up without delayed healing.
• Confirm the physician's assessment explicitly states delayed healing to justify the use of this specific seventh character.
