Ant disp fx of sternal end unsp clavicle, 7thD

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a fracture located at the sternal (medial) end of the collarbone, where the broken bone fragments are displaced forward. At this stage, the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code when a patient presents for a follow-up visit for an anteriorly displaced sternal clavicle fracture that is progressing well in its healing. This is appropriate for subsequent appointments after the initial treatment, such as cast checks or physical therapy evaluations, as long as healing is routine.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "anterior displacement" and "sternal end" of the clavicle.
• This code is for routine healing; use different codes for delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion.
• Verify laterality if specified in the documentation; "unspecified" is used when laterality is not documented.
