Disp fx of lateral end of r clavicle, subs for fx w malunion

This code signifies a right clavicle fracture, specifically at its lateral end, that has healed improperly (malunion). The fracture was initially displaced, meaning the bone fragments were not in their normal alignment. This code is used during a follow-up visit after the initial treatment.

Apply this code for patients presenting for ongoing management of a right lateral clavicle fracture that has healed in a misaligned position. This includes scenarios where the patient is experiencing persistent pain, limited range of motion, or cosmetic deformity due to the malunion, and the encounter is not for the initial treatment or routine healing.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right" clavicle and "lateral end."
• Confirm the encounter is for a "subsequent encounter" and the fracture has resulted in "malunion."
• Do not use for initial treatment or routine follow-up of a healing fracture without malunion.
