Nondisp fx of sternal end unsp clavicle, 7thP

This code describes a situation where a patient has a fracture at the sternal (medial) end of their clavicle that was not displaced at the time of the initial injury. The current encounter is for ongoing management of this fracture, which has unfortunately healed incorrectly, resulting in a malunion.

Use this code for follow-up visits where a previously diagnosed nondisplaced sternal clavicle fracture is being treated, and imaging or clinical assessment confirms that the bone has healed in an anatomically incorrect position. This applies to encounters for evaluation, treatment planning, or management of the malunion itself, after the initial fracture care.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" for the initial fracture and "malunion" for the current healing status.
• Verify the encounter is "subsequent" and not for initial fracture care or routine healing without complications.
• Laterality (left/right) is unspecified in this code; use a more specific code if laterality is documented.
