Disp fx of shaft of right clavicle, subs for fx w malunion

This code signifies a fracture located in the shaft of the right collarbone that has healed incorrectly, resulting in an abnormal alignment of the bone fragments. This specific code is used when the patient is receiving ongoing care for this malunited fracture.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient is being treated for a previously diagnosed displaced right clavicle shaft fracture that has healed in a misaligned position. This includes visits for monitoring, physical therapy, or surgical planning related to the malunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and specifies the right clavicle shaft.
• Verify the encounter is for subsequent care, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
• Consider additional codes for any associated complications or procedures performed during the encounter.
