This is the American ICD-10-CM version of S72.03 - other international versions of ICD-10 S72.03 may differ.

Closed fracture of right clavicle. Right clavicle (collar bone) fracture. ICD-10-CM S42.001A is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group (s) (MS-DRG v38.0): 562 Fracture, sprain, strain and dislocation except femur, hip, pelvis and thigh with mcc. 563 Fracture, sprain, strain and dislocation except femur, hip, pelvis and thigh without mcc.
These are all found in the ICD-10-CM Book in the guidelines about fracture coding. All fractures default to a displaced fracture if it is not documented as displaced or nondisplaced. (Displaced basically just means the bones are not lined up right). If the report specifies ‘nondisplaced’ fracture, then code it as nondisplaced.
S72.001A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. Short description: Fracture of unsp part of neck of right femur, init The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM S72.001A became effective on October 1, 2020.
Clavicle fractures are classified into three types based on the location of the fracture: 1) near the sternum (least common), 2) near the AC joint (second most common), or 3) in the middle of the bone between the sternum and AC joint (most common).
733.82 - Nonunion of fracture.
In ICD-10-CM a fracture not indicated as displaced or nondisplaced should be coded to displaced, and a fracture not designated as open or closed should be coded to closed. While the classification defaults to displaced for fractures, it is very important that complete documentation is encouraged.
ICD-10 code S42. 0 for Fracture of clavicle is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes .
Unspecified fracture of sternum, subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion. S22. 20XK is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
A malunion occurs when a fractured bone heals in an abnormal position, which can lead to impaired function of the bone or limb and make it look like it is 'bent'. Similarly, a nonunion is the result of a fractured bone failing to heal after an extended period of time – in some cases over a period of 9 to 12 months.
S62.91XAICD-10 code S62. 91XA for Unspecified fracture of right wrist and hand, initial encounter for closed fracture is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes .
Fractures are coded using the appropriate 7th character extension for subsequent care for encounters after the patient has completed active treatment of the fracture and is receiving routine care for the fracture during the healing or recovery phase.

Distal clavicle excision is a procedure which involves removal of the outer end of the clavicle (collarbone) to treat shoulder pain and disability due to arthritis or impingement.
Ununited fractures are those that have failed to unite by bony union after the period normally required for repair. They may be divided into those of delayed union, and those in a fixed state of nonunion.
When a broken bone fails to heal it is called a "nonunion." A "delayed union" is when a fracture takes longer than usual to heal.
A nonunion is a broken bone that has not healed. Most fractures—broken bones—will heal effectively with standard treatment in about 6 to 12 weeks. Between 5 and 10 percent, however, may fail to heal completely.
What makes a fracture “compound” or “open” is when the broken bone pierces your skin. If you happen to fall from a ladder and land on your arm, breaking it, you'll know it's a compound fracture if you can see the bone. “Simple” or “closed” fractures don't break through your skin.
Keywords for healing is if the documentation mentions “callus formation.”. Callus formation means the bones are healing. Just in general, here are some more facts about fracture coding.
All fractures default to a “closed” fracture if it’s not documented. Closed fracture means that there’s a broken bone but it is not coming out through the skin. This is really gross to think about but since we’re coders, we have to. Basically, if the report states “open fracture,” you’d code it as open fracture.
But what that means is that the bone is so broken and messed up that you’d be able to see it. It’s through the skin (these are very bad fractures, sometimes from gunshot wounds and those types of injuries).
