S42.009A
ICD-10-CMFracture of unspecified part of unspecified clavicle, initial encounter for closed fracture
This code signifies a newly diagnosed, non-displaced or minimally displaced break in the collarbone, where the specific location of the fracture on the clavicle (e.g., medial, shaft, lateral) is not documented, and it's also unclear which clavicle (left or right) is affected. The skin over the fracture remains intact.
Apply this code when a patient presents with a clavicle fracture, and the medical record lacks precise documentation regarding the side (left/right) and the specific anatomical segment of the clavicle involved. This is appropriate for the initial treatment of such a closed fracture.
