Nondisp fx of glenoid cav of scapula, r shoulder, sequela

This code signifies a long-term complication or late effect stemming from a previously sustained, non-displaced fracture of the glenoid cavity in the right shoulder. It indicates that the initial injury has healed, but the patient is now experiencing residual issues directly attributable to that past fracture.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with chronic pain, limited range of motion, instability, or other persistent symptoms in the right shoulder, and the medical record clearly links these issues to a prior, non-displaced glenoid fracture. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters occurring after the initial healing period of the acute fracture.

• Always use an additional code to specify the nature of the sequela (e.g., chronic pain, malunion, nonunion, arthritis).
• Ensure documentation explicitly states the condition is a "sequela" or "late effect" of a previous injury.
• Do not use this code for the initial treatment of the acute fracture or during the active healing phase.
