Nondisp fx of sternal end r clavicle, 7thG

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a patient who sustained a fracture at the sternal end of their right clavicle, where the bone fragments remain in their anatomical position. The key clinical aspect is that the fracture is not healing at the expected rate, indicating delayed union.

Use this code when a patient presents for ongoing management of a right clavicle fracture (sternal end) that was initially nondisplaced, and the physician documents that the healing process is prolonged or slower than anticipated. This would typically be seen in follow-up appointments after the initial injury and treatment.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and "sternal end of right clavicle."
• The "G" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter with delayed healing; confirm this is documented.
• Do not use for initial encounters or for fractures that are healing normally.
