Nondisp fx of nk of scapula, l shldr, 7thD

This code signifies a fracture of the neck of the left shoulder blade that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical position. The patient is in a follow-up phase of care, and the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced left scapular neck fracture is seen for routine follow-up, such as cast checks, physical therapy evaluations, or imaging to confirm continued healing. It indicates that the healing process is progressing normally.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "left shoulder" for the scapular neck fracture.
• Confirm the encounter is for routine follow-up and not for initial treatment or complications.
• Verify that the "D" seventh character is appropriate for a subsequent encounter with routine healing.
