ICD-10-CMNondisplaced fracture of shaft of right clavicle, subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing
This code indicates a fracture of the shaft of the right collarbone that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal alignment. The "G" seventh character signifies that this is a follow-up encounter for a fracture that is healing slower than expected.
Apply this code when a patient presents for ongoing management of a right clavicle shaft fracture that has been previously diagnosed and is now exhibiting delayed healing. This would include follow-up appointments where the physician assesses the healing progress and determines it is not proceeding at the anticipated rate.
