This code signifies a fracture of the base of the thumb metacarpal (Rolando's fracture) in the left hand, where the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical position. The patient is in a follow-up phase of treatment, and the fracture is progressing as expected towards full recovery.

Apply this code when documenting a subsequent visit for a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced Rolando's fracture of the left hand. This is appropriate for routine follow-up appointments, cast changes, or physical therapy sessions during the uncomplicated healing period.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "left hand" for accurate code selection.
• Verify that the encounter is for a subsequent phase of care and that healing is progressing routinely, not complicated.
• Pair this diagnosis code with appropriate procedure codes for services rendered during the encounter (e.g., cast application, physical therapy).
