ICD-10-CMNondisplaced fracture of shaft of right clavicle, subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion
This code describes a situation where a patient has a fracture in the middle part of their right collarbone that is not out of alignment. Crucially, the bone has failed to heal properly after an initial treatment, and the patient is now receiving ongoing care for this complication.
Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a right clavicle shaft fracture that has been diagnosed as a nonunion. This includes visits for continued monitoring, diagnostic imaging to assess the nonunion, or planning for further interventions such as surgery to promote healing.
