Nondisplaced fracture of shaft of left clavicle, sequela

This code indicates a past, healed fracture of the main body of the left collarbone that did not involve displacement of the bone fragments. The patient is now experiencing a long-term complication or residual effect directly attributable to this old injury.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a persistent issue, such as chronic pain, limited range of motion, nonunion, malunion, or nerve impingement, that is a direct consequence of a previously sustained and now healed nondisplaced fracture of the shaft of the left clavicle. This code is appropriate for follow-up care related to the sequela, not the initial acute treatment.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, malunion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the old clavicle fracture.
• Verify the fracture was specifically of the shaft and nondisplaced, and that the injury occurred on the left side.
