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

This code signifies a follow-up visit for a patient who previously sustained a fracture to the outer portion of their right collarbone. At this subsequent encounter, the fracture is still present and has healed incorrectly, resulting in a malunion, but the bone fragments remain in their original anatomical position.

Apply this code when documenting a patient's visit for ongoing management of a right clavicle fracture that has healed improperly. This is appropriate for encounters where the malunion is being monitored or treated, and the fracture itself is not new or acute.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right" clavicle and "lateral end" for accurate laterality and location.
• Confirm the encounter is "subsequent" and the fracture has resulted in a "malunion" as opposed to nonunion or routine healing.
• Do not use for initial fracture treatment or for fractures that have healed correctly.
