Treating a Clavicle Fracture
What Is the Treatment a Broken Collarbone?
Most clavicle shaft fractures or broken collarbones do not require surgery. Fractures with “significant” displacement or shortening (think 2cm) might benefit from surgery. Most athletes with a clavicle shaft fracture or a broken collarbone will return to sports within a few months – with or without surgery.
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 .
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.

S42.002A2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code S42. 002A: Fracture of unspecified part of left clavicle, initial encounter for closed fracture.
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).
Your clavicle (collarbone) is a long, thin, slightly curved bone that connects your arm to your body. It sits below your neck and is part of the front of your shoulder. It runs horizontally (from side to side). This bone connects your sternum in the middle of your ribcage to your shoulder blade (scapula).

Used for medical claim reporting in all healthcare settings, ICD-10-CM is a standardized classification system of diagnosis codes that represent conditions and diseases, related health problems, abnormal findings, signs and symptoms, injuries, external causes of injuries and diseases, and social circumstances.
ICD-10-PCS will be the official system of assigning codes to procedures associated with hospital utilization in the United States. ICD-10-PCS codes will support data collection, payment and electronic health records. ICD-10-PCS is a medical classification coding system for procedural codes.
Fracture of unspecified part of right clavicle, initial encounter for closed fracture. S42. 001A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S42.
acromial endThe orientation of the clavicle can be distinguished by its ends: a broad, flat acromial end (referred to as the lateral third); and a round pyramidal-like sternal end (referred to as the medial two-thirds).
acromial endThe 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.
A traumatic or pathologic injury to the clavicle in which the continuity of the clavicle is broken.

810.00 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of closed fracture of clavicle, unspecified part. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
A fracture is a break, usually in a bone. If the broken bone punctures the skin , it is called an open or compound fracture. Fractures commonly happen because of car accidents, falls or sports injuries. Other causes are low bone density and osteoporosis, which cause weakening of the bones. Overuse can cause stress fractures, which are very small cracks in the bone.
Your shoulder joint is composed of three bones: the clavicle (collarbone), the scapula (shoulder blade), and the humerus (upper arm bone). Your shoulders are the most movable joints in your body. They can also be unstable because the ball of the upper arm is larger than the shoulder socket that holds it. To remain in a stable or normal position, the shoulder must be anchored by muscles, tendons and ligaments. Because the shoulder can be unstable, it is the site of many common problems. They include sprains, strains, dislocations, separations, tendinitis, bursitis, torn rotator cuffs, frozen shoulder, fractures and arthritis.
