ICD-10-CMAnterior displaced fracture of sternal end of right clavicle, initial encounter for closed fracture
This code signifies a fracture located at the sternal (medial) end of the right clavicle, where the bone fragments are displaced forward. It specifically indicates that this is the initial treatment for a fracture that has not broken through the skin.
Apply this code when documenting the initial encounter for a patient presenting with a closed fracture of the medial aspect of their right collarbone, and imaging confirms anterior displacement of the fracture fragments. This is appropriate for the first time a patient is seen for this specific injury, whether for diagnosis, treatment, or evaluation.
