Nondisp fx of sternal end l clavicle, 7thD

This code describes a follow-up encounter for a patient who sustained a fracture at the sternal (medial) end of their left clavicle, where the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment. The fracture is currently healing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for subsequent visits when a patient is receiving ongoing care for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced left sternal clavicle fracture that is progressing well. It indicates routine follow-up during the healing phase, such as cast checks, physical therapy evaluations, or imaging to monitor callus formation.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "left clavicle, sternal end."
• The 7th character "D" is crucial for subsequent encounters with routine healing.
• Do not use for initial encounters or encounters with delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion.
