Nondisp fx of sternal end of unsp clavicle, init for clos fx

This diagnosis code indicates a break in the clavicle bone, specifically at the end closest to the sternum (breastbone), where the bone fragments have not shifted out of alignment. It signifies that the injury is new and the skin over the fracture site is intact.

Apply this code for patients presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the medial (sternal) end of the clavicle, where the laterality (left or right) is not documented. This is appropriate for the initial treatment encounter of such a closed injury.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and "sternal end" of the clavicle.
• Confirm the encounter is for the initial treatment of the fracture.
• Only use when the laterality of the clavicle fracture is truly unspecified in the medical record.
