Ant disp fx of sternal end l clavicle, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture at the sternal (medial) end of the left clavicle that has shifted out of its normal anatomical position anteriorly. The "G" seventh character indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and the healing process is taking longer than expected.

Apply this code when documenting subsequent encounters for a patient with an anteriorly displaced fracture of the sternal end of the left clavicle who is experiencing delayed healing. This would include follow-up appointments, imaging reviews, or interventions specifically addressing the delayed union of the fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "anterior displacement" and "left" clavicle.
• The "G" seventh character is crucial for indicating delayed healing in a subsequent encounter.
• Do not use this code for initial encounters or for fractures healing at a normal rate.
