Post disp fx of sternal end r clavicle, 7thD

This code describes a follow-up encounter for a patient who sustained a fracture at the sternal (medial) end of their right clavicle, where the bone fragments are displaced posteriorly. At this stage, the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

Use this code for subsequent visits when a patient with a previously diagnosed posterior displaced fracture of the sternal end of the right clavicle is undergoing routine follow-up, and the fracture is progressing through normal healing. This applies to encounters for cast changes, wound checks, or physical therapy during the routine healing phase.

• Ensure documentation specifies "posterior displaced" and "sternal end" for accurate coding.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for a fracture with routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or delayed/nonunion healing.
• Always confirm laterality (right clavicle) is clearly documented.
