Anterior disp fx of sternal end of right clavicle, sequela

This diagnosis describes a past injury involving a fracture at the sternal (medial) end of the right collarbone, where the bone fragments were pushed forward. The "sequela" designation indicates that this code is used for conditions or complications arising directly from this old injury, rather than the initial acute fracture. These sequelae could include ongoing pain, limited range of motion, nonunion, malunion, or other chronic issues.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a current problem that is a direct result of a previously sustained, anteriorly displaced fracture of the sternal end of the right clavicle. This applies to follow-up visits for chronic complications or conditions that have developed after the initial healing phase of the fracture. Do not use this code for the acute fracture itself.

• Always assign an additional code to specify the nature of the sequela (e.g., pain, nonunion, malunion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the old fracture.
• This code is for healed or healing fractures with residual effects, not active treatment of the initial break.
