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).
A clavicle fracture is a break in the collarbone, one of the main bones in the shoulder. This type of fracture is fairly common, accounting for about 5% of all adult fractures. Most clavicle fractures occur when a fall onto the shoulder or an outstretched arm puts enough pressure on the bone that it snaps or breaks.
The lateral end is also known as the acromial end. It is flat from above downward. It bears a facet that articulates with the shoulder to form the acromioclavicular joint. The area surrounding the joint gives an attachment to the joint capsule.

The physician reimbursements were based on the following current procedural terminology (CPT) codes: 23515 (ORIF of clavicle fracture), 23500 (closed treatment of clavicle fracture), 23480 (operative treatment of nonunion or malunion), 20680 (removal of hardware), and 11080 (wound infection debridement).
Injuries are coded from Chapter 19 of ICD-10 titled “Injury, Poisoning, and Certain Other Consequences of External Causes” (codes S00-T88). These codes make up over 50% of all ICD-10 codes.
ICD-9/ICD-10 are acronyms used in the medical field that stand for International Classification of Diseases, ninth/tenth revision. ICD diagnosis codes submitted by RREs on Section 111 Claim Input Files are used by Medicare claims paying offices to help process Medicare claims.
What is an E-code? An external cause of injury code or E-code is used when a patient presents to a healthcare provider with an injury. The E-code is part of the World Health Organization's International Classification of Diseases (ICD) system used in clinical settings to characterize and standardize health events.
