Ant disp fx of sternal end l clavicle, 7thD

This code signifies a fracture of the anterior aspect of the sternal (medial) end of the left clavicle, which has also been displaced. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed anteriorly displaced fracture of the left sternal clavicle. This is appropriate for encounters where the physician assesses routine healing, such as cast checks, follow-up X-rays showing callus formation, or physical therapy evaluations during the healing period.

• Ensure documentation specifies "anterior displacement" and "left" clavicle.
• The 7th character "D" indicates subsequent encounter for routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or delayed/nonunion.
• Verify the fracture is specifically at the sternal end, not the shaft or acromial end.
