Nondisp fx of lateral end unsp clavicle, 7thK

This code describes a fracture at the outer end of the collarbone that has not shifted from its normal alignment, and is being treated for a failure to heal properly. The specific side of the clavicle (left or right) is not documented.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing treatment for a nondisplaced lateral clavicle fracture that has been diagnosed with nonunion. This includes situations like continued conservative management, preparation for surgical intervention, or post-operative care for a nonunion repair.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nonunion" for the fracture.
• Verify that the fracture is indeed nondisplaced and located at the lateral end of the clavicle.
• This "K" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for a nonunion; do not use for initial treatment or routine healing.
