Nondisp fx of lateral end of right clavicle, init

This code specifies a fracture of the lateral end of the right clavicle that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment. It indicates the initial encounter for treatment of a closed fracture, where the skin remains intact over the injury site.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the distal right clavicle. This is appropriate for the initial visit where the fracture is identified and initial treatment, such as immobilization, is provided. Subsequent encounters for follow-up care of this specific fracture will require a different encounter character.

• Verify laterality (right) and fracture site (lateral end of clavicle) are accurately documented.
• Confirm the fracture is explicitly stated as "nondisplaced" and "closed."
• Ensure this is the patient's first encounter for this specific fracture; subsequent visits will use the appropriate subsequent encounter character (e.g., D, G, K, P, S).
