Disp fx of shaft of unsp clavicle, subs for fx w routn heal

This code describes a break in the middle portion of the collarbone that has shifted out of alignment. The patient is in a phase of recovery where the fracture is mending normally without complications. This encounter is for follow-up care after the initial treatment.

Use this code for subsequent visits when a patient is receiving ongoing care for a previously diagnosed displaced clavicular shaft fracture that is healing as expected. This applies to situations like routine cast checks, physical therapy evaluations, or follow-up imaging to monitor uncomplicated bone union.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "shaft" for accurate coding.
• Confirm the encounter is for routine healing, not delayed healing or nonunion.
• Always check for laterality (left, right, or unspecified) if available in the documentation.
