Displaced fracture of shaft of right clavicle, sequela

This code signifies a fracture of the shaft of the right clavicle that has not healed in perfect anatomical alignment, resulting in displacement. It indicates a long-term effect or complication arising from the initial injury, rather than an acute fracture.

This code is appropriate for patients presenting with ongoing issues related to a previously sustained right clavicle shaft fracture where imaging confirms persistent displacement. It should be used when the patient is beyond the initial healing phase and the displacement is considered a chronic condition or complication.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "displaced" and "sequela" for the right clavicle shaft fracture.
• Verify laterality (right) is accurately documented.
• Do not use for acute, initial encounters of a clavicle fracture.
