Disp fx of nk of scapula, r shldr, subs for fx w routn heal

This code signifies a fracture of the neck of the right scapula where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal anatomical alignment. The patient is currently in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is progressing with expected, uncomplicated healing.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced right scapular neck fracture is being monitored for routine healing. This includes visits for cast checks, physical therapy evaluations during the healing phase, or repeat imaging showing expected callus formation.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "right shoulder" for accurate laterality and displacement.
• Confirm the encounter is for subsequent care and not the initial treatment of the fracture.
• Verify that the physician's assessment indicates "routine healing" and not delayed, nonunion, or malunion.
