Disp fx of neck of scapula, right shoulder, init for clos fx

This code signifies a break in the neck of the right shoulder blade that has resulted in the bone fragments being out of their normal alignment. This specific injury involves the narrowest part of the scapula, just below the glenoid cavity.

Apply this code for the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-compound fracture of the right scapular neck where the bone fragments are displaced. This would typically be used for the emergency department visit or initial orthopedic consultation following the injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "right shoulder" for accurate code assignment.
• Confirm the encounter is for the initial treatment of the fracture, not subsequent care.
• Verify the fracture is "closed" (skin intact) to avoid using open fracture codes.
