Other displaced fracture of base of first metacarpal bone, right hand, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing

📋Clinical Description

This code signifies a fracture at the base of the first metacarpal bone (thumb) in the right hand, which has been displaced from its normal anatomical position. The patient is currently in a phase of routine healing following initial treatment for this fracture.

🎯When to Use

Apply this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing care for a previously diagnosed and treated displaced fracture of the right first metacarpal base. This is appropriate when the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

💡Coding Tips

Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "base of first metacarpal" for the right hand.
The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for a fracture with routine healing.
Do not use for initial treatment or for fractures with delayed or nonunion healing.
