Nondisp fx of nk of scapula, l shldr, subs for fx w malunion

This code signifies a previously treated fracture of the neck of the left scapula that has healed, but in an anatomically incorrect or misaligned position. The patient is presenting for follow-up care related to this malunion, not for the initial injury or active treatment of the acute fracture.

Apply this code when documentation indicates a patient is being seen for complications or management of a malunited fracture of the left scapular neck. This would include scenarios where the malunion is causing pain, limited range of motion, or other functional deficits requiring ongoing assessment or intervention.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies "malunion" and not "nonunion" or "delayed union."
• Verify the laterality is "left shoulder" and the fracture site is specifically the "neck of scapula."
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, indicating the initial fracture treatment has concluded.
