Nondisp fx of glenoid cav of scapula, unsp shldr, 7thK

This code signifies a previously diagnosed fracture of the glenoid cavity that was initially nondisplaced, affecting an unspecified shoulder. The current encounter is for ongoing management of this fracture, specifically addressing a documented nonunion. This indicates the fracture has failed to heal within the expected timeframe.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is being treated for a glenoid fracture that has not united, and the initial injury was a nondisplaced fracture. This applies when the physician is actively managing the nonunion, such as considering surgical intervention or monitoring healing progress.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nonunion" and that the initial fracture was nondisplaced.
• Verify the encounter is subsequent to the initial injury and not for the initial treatment.
• Do not use if the fracture is malunion or if the initial fracture was displaced.
