Fracture of unsp part of r clavicle, subs for fx w malunion

This code signifies a right clavicle fracture that has previously been treated but is now healing incorrectly, resulting in a malunion. The specific location of the fracture on the clavicle is not documented.

Apply this code when a patient presents for follow-up care of a right clavicle fracture that is demonstrating signs of malunion, such as deformity or functional impairment, after initial treatment. This is appropriate for subsequent encounters where the malunion is the focus of treatment or evaluation.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and specifies the right clavicle.
• Verify this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
• Do not use if the fracture is still in the active healing phase without evidence of malunion.
