S42.017P
ICD-10-CMNondisplaced fracture of sternal end of right clavicle, subsequent encounter for fracture with malunion
This code signifies a fracture of the sternal end of the right clavicle that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical position. The patient is in a subsequent phase of treatment, and the fracture has healed improperly, resulting in a malunion.
This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient is being treated for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced fracture of the sternal end of the right clavicle, and imaging or clinical assessment confirms malunion. This could include visits for ongoing management of the malunion, assessment for surgical correction, or physical therapy related to the malunion.
