Nondisp fx of lateral end of right clavicle, sequela

This code signifies a long-term complication or residual effect stemming from a nondisplaced fracture of the outer (lateral) portion of the right collarbone. It indicates that the initial injury has healed, but there are ongoing issues directly attributable to that past fracture.

Apply this code when documenting conditions such as chronic pain, limited range of motion, nonunion, malunion, or hardware complications (if applicable and related to the original fracture) that are a direct consequence of a previously sustained nondisplaced lateral clavicle fracture on the right side. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing these persistent issues, not the initial acute injury.

• This "S" seventh character indicates a sequela, meaning it's used for complications or conditions arising as a direct result of a previous injury, after the acute phase has passed.
• Always sequence this sequela code first if it is the primary reason for the encounter, followed by codes for the specific manifestation of the sequela (e.g., chronic pain, nonunion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the previous nondisplaced lateral clavicle fracture of the right side.
