Nondisp fx of nk of scapula, r shldr, subs for fx w nonunion

This code signifies a right-sided fracture of the scapular neck that has not shifted out of alignment, and the patient is currently being treated for a nonunion of this fracture. Nonunion indicates that the bone fragments have failed to heal together after a reasonable period.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced right scapular neck fracture is presenting for management of a confirmed nonunion. This includes visits for evaluation, treatment planning (e.g., surgical intervention for nonunion), or ongoing monitoring of the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" of the fracture.
• Verify the fracture is specifically of the "neck of scapula" and on the "right" side.
• This code is for subsequent encounters, not the initial injury.
