Nondisp fx of lateral end of left clavicle, sequela

This code describes a healed or residual condition resulting from a fracture of the outer portion of the left collarbone that was not displaced at the time of the initial injury. It indicates that the patient is experiencing a long-term effect or complication directly attributable to that past fracture.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a chronic issue, such as pain, limited range of motion, nonunion, malunion, or hardware complications, that is a direct consequence of a previously sustained, nondisplaced fracture of the lateral end of the left clavicle. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters after the initial healing period has passed.

• Assign this code for conditions that are a late effect of the original injury, not for the initial acute fracture.
• Always sequence this sequela code first, followed by a code for the specific manifestation of the sequela (e.g., chronic pain, malunion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past nondisplaced lateral clavicle fracture.
