Disp fx of glenoid cav of scapula, l shldr, 7thK

This code signifies a left shoulder injury involving a displaced fracture of the glenoid cavity, which is the socket part of the shoulder joint. The "subsequent encounter" indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and "nonunion" means the bone fragments have failed to heal together after a typical healing period.

Use this code for a patient presenting for ongoing management of a previously diagnosed, displaced glenoid fracture in the left shoulder that has not united. This would apply to clinic visits, hospital admissions, or other encounters where the primary focus is addressing the nonunion of this specific fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "left shoulder," "glenoid cavity," "displaced," and "nonunion."
• Verify this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
• Consider additional codes for any associated complications or treatment procedures.
