Nondisp fx of shaft of unsp clavicle, subs for fx w malunion

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a patient who previously sustained a fracture to the shaft of an unspecified clavicle. At this subsequent visit, the fracture is noted to be nondisplaced, but healing has occurred with malunion, meaning the bone has healed in an abnormal or misaligned position.

Apply this code when documenting a patient's visit for ongoing management or evaluation of a clavicle shaft fracture that has healed incorrectly. This would typically be used after the initial treatment phase, when the malunion is identified and being addressed.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and specifies the clavicle shaft.
• Verify that this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
• Confirm the fracture is nondisplaced; displaced fractures have different codes.
