Nondisp fx of sternal end of right clavicle, sequela

This code describes a long-term complication or late effect stemming from a previously sustained, non-displaced fracture of the sternal (medial) end of the right collarbone. It indicates that the initial injury has healed, but the patient is still experiencing residual problems or conditions directly attributable to that past fracture.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing symptoms, functional limitations, or other sequelae (e.g., chronic pain, nonunion, malunion, degenerative changes) that are a direct result of a healed, non-displaced fracture of the sternal end of the right clavicle. This code is appropriate for encounters occurring after the initial healing phase of the fracture.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., M25.511 for chronic right shoulder pain).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the previous right sternal clavicle fracture.
• Do not use this code for initial or subsequent encounters for active fracture treatment; it is exclusively for late effects.
