Nondisp fx of shaft of unsp clavicle, subs for fx w nonunion

This code signifies a fracture of the shaft of the clavicle that has not healed properly (nonunion) and is not displaced. The specific side (left or right) of the clavicle is not documented. This indicates a follow-up visit for ongoing management of this unhealed fracture.

Use this code for encounters where a patient is being treated for a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced clavicular shaft fracture that has failed to unite. This applies to subsequent visits for monitoring, further diagnostic workup, or planning for interventions related to the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and "nondisplaced" for the clavicular shaft fracture.
• Verify that the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
• If the laterality (left or right) of the clavicle is specified in the medical record, a more specific code should be used.
