Nondisp fx of sternal end of right clavicle, init

This code signifies a break in the outer portion of the right collarbone, near the breastbone, where the bone fragments have not shifted out of alignment. It indicates that this is the first time the patient is being treated for this specific injury, and the skin over the fracture is intact.

Apply this code for patients presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the sternal end of the right clavicle. This is appropriate for initial treatment, such as casting, splinting, or conservative management, when there is no open wound communicating with the fracture site.

• Confirm the fracture is specifically of the sternal end and on the right side.
• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and "closed fracture."
• The "A" in the seventh character indicates an initial encounter for active treatment.
