Summary. Distal clavicle fractures are traumatic injuries usually caused by direct trauma to the shoulder from a fall in adults.Jan 30, 2022
ICD-10-CM Code for Fracture of clavicle S42. 0.
2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code S42. 002A: Fracture of unspecified part of left clavicle, initial encounter for closed fracture.
Nondisplaced or minimally displaced clavicle fractures are often considered to be benign injuries. These fractures in the trauma patient population, however, may deserve closer follow-up than their low-energy counterparts.
The RRE may report ICD-9 diagnosis code 81000 (fractured clavicle NOS-closed).Dec 12, 2021
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.

Conservative treatment of distal clavicle fractures includes immobilization with an arm sling or a figure-of-eight bandage. Recently, arm slings have become more commonly used because of patient comfort.
The most common fractures of the clavicle are in the middle of the shaft of the bone, approximately halfway between the sternum and the AC joint. The most common way to treat the fractures in the middle is with immobilization with either a sling or a special bandage called a figure-of-8 splint.
Clavicle fractures are commonly known as a breaking of the collarbone, and they are usually a result of injury or trauma. The most common type of fracture occurs when a person falls horizontally on the shoulder or with an outstretched hand. A direct hit to the collarbone can also cause a break.
Increase Specificity. The clavicle, or collarbone, is a long bone of short length that serves as a strut between the scapula and the sternum. It is the only long bone in body that lies horizontally. It makes up part of the shoulder and the pectoral girdle, and is palpable in all people.
A bone fracture is a medical condition in which there is a break in the continuity of the bone. A bone fracture can be the result of high-force impact or stress, or trivial injury as a result of a medical condition that weaken the bones (e.g., osteoporosis, bone cancer, or osteogenesis imperfecta).
