Post disp fx of sternal end unsp clavicle, 7thD

This code indicates a fracture at the sternal (medial) end of the collarbone, where the broken bone fragments are shifted backward. This specific code is used when the patient is seen for follow-up care of this fracture and the healing process is progressing as expected without complications.

Apply this code for patients presenting for routine follow-up appointments for a posteriorly displaced sternal clavicle fracture. This includes visits for cast checks, physical therapy evaluations, or general monitoring during the expected healing period. It is appropriate when the fracture is healing routinely and no complications are noted.

• Ensure documentation specifies a posterior displacement of the sternal end of the clavicle.
• Confirm the encounter is for subsequent care and routine healing is documented.
• Do not use this code for initial treatment or if delayed/nonunion healing is present.
