Disp fx of neck of scapula, r shldr, subs for fx w nonunion

This code signifies a right shoulder injury involving a displaced fracture of the scapular neck that has failed to heal properly, leading to a nonunion. It indicates that the patient is in a subsequent phase of care for this specific complication.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is being treated for a previously diagnosed displaced right scapular neck fracture that has progressed to a nonunion. This would include visits for ongoing management, evaluation of nonunion, or planning for further intervention such as surgery to address the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "displaced" and "nonunion" for the right scapular neck fracture.
• Verify this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture or the nonunion.
• Confirm laterality is explicitly documented as "right shoulder."
