Posterior disp fx of sternal end of right clavicle, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual condition resulting from a posterior displacement fracture of the sternal end of the right clavicle. It indicates that the patient is experiencing ongoing problems or long-term effects directly attributable to the original injury, rather than an acute fracture.

Use this code for patients presenting with chronic pain, limited range of motion, nonunion, malunion, or other persistent complications directly related to a previously sustained posterior displaced fracture of the sternal end of the right clavicle. This applies after the initial healing phase of the acute injury has passed.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) describing the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, malunion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the prior clavicle fracture.
• Do not use for acute or subacute fractures; those require codes from the initial encounter or subsequent encounter categories.
