Ant disp fx of sternal end unsp clavicle, 7thG

This code describes a fracture of the sternal (medial) end of the clavicle that has shifted forward from its normal anatomical position. The "subsequent encounter" indicates the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, which is not healing at the expected rate.

Use this code for patients presenting for ongoing treatment of an anteriorly displaced sternal clavicle fracture where healing is progressing slower than anticipated. This applies to office visits, cast changes, or imaging reviews during the delayed healing phase after initial treatment.

• Requires a seventh character "G" for subsequent encounter with delayed healing.
• Distinguish from initial encounters ("A") or subsequent encounters with routine healing ("D").
• Ensure documentation specifies "anterior displacement" and "delayed healing" for accurate code assignment.
