Fracture oth prt scapula, r shoulder, subs for fx w malunion

This code signifies a fracture affecting any part of the right shoulder blade, excluding the anatomical neck or glenoid cavity, that has healed improperly (malunion). The patient is in the recovery phase, receiving ongoing treatment or evaluation for this previously sustained injury.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a right scapular fracture (not anatomical neck or glenoid) where the bone fragments have united in a deformed or misaligned position. This would include scenarios like physical therapy, follow-up imaging, or surgical planning to address the malunion.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "malunion" and specifies the "right" side.
• Verify that the fracture location is not the anatomical neck or glenoid cavity, as those have specific codes.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, indicating the patient is receiving care after the initial treatment phase.
