Nondisp fx of lateral end unsp clavicle, 7thP

This code describes a clavicle fracture that is not displaced and is located at the lateral end, but the bone is healing in an abnormal position (malunion). The "P" indicates that this is a subsequent encounter for the fracture, meaning the patient is receiving follow-up care for the healing process.

Use this code for patients presenting for ongoing management of a previously diagnosed lateral clavicle fracture that is now showing signs of malunion. This would apply during follow-up appointments where imaging confirms the malunion and the physician is evaluating the healing progress or planning further intervention.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and specifies the lateral end of the clavicle.
• Verify that the encounter is for follow-up care of the fracture, not the initial treatment.
• Confirm the fracture is described as "nondisplaced" to align with this specific code.
