Ant disp fx of sternal end r clavicle, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture at the sternal (medial) end of the right collarbone that has shifted forward from its normal anatomical position. It indicates that the patient is in a subsequent phase of care for this injury, and the fracture is not healing at the expected rate.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed anteriorly displaced right sternal clavicle fracture is being evaluated or treated for delayed union. This applies when the physician documents that the fracture is healing slower than anticipated, but not yet considered a nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "anterior displacement" and "right" clavicle.
• The "G" seventh character is crucial for indicating delayed healing in a subsequent encounter.
• Distinguish from nonunion (K) or malunion (P) which have different seventh characters.
