ICD-10-CMDisplaced fracture of shaft of right clavicle, initial encounter for closed fracture
This code signifies a break in the main part (shaft) of the right collarbone that is not perfectly aligned (displaced). It indicates that this is the first time the patient is being treated for this specific injury, and the skin over the fracture remains intact (closed fracture).
This code is appropriate for initial encounters where a patient presents with a newly diagnosed, displaced fracture of the right clavicular shaft. This would typically be confirmed by imaging studies such as X-rays. It is used when the fracture has not broken through the skin.
