Nondisp fx of shaft of left clavicle, init for clos fx

This code signifies a break in the middle portion of the left collarbone that has not shifted out of alignment. The bone fragments remain in their anatomical position, indicating a stable fracture.

This code is appropriate for the initial treatment encounter of a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the shaft of their left clavicle. It applies when the skin over the fracture site is intact, indicating a closed fracture.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "shaft" for accurate code assignment.
• Verify the encounter is the "initial encounter" for this specific fracture.
• Confirm the fracture is "closed" (skin intact) as opposed to an open fracture.
