Oth nondisp fx of base of 1st MC bone, r hand, 7thD

This code describes a follow-up visit for a patient who sustained a non-displaced fracture at the base of their right first metacarpal bone. At this stage, the fracture is healing as expected without complications. This injury is often referred to as a "Bennett's fracture" if it involves the carpometacarpal joint, though this code specifies a non-displaced variant.

Use this code for subsequent encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed non-displaced fracture of the right first metacarpal base is undergoing routine follow-up care. This includes appointments where the physician assesses healing progress, monitors pain, or provides ongoing conservative management. It is appropriate when the fracture is progressing toward union without intervention for delayed or non-union.

• Ensure the "D" seventh character is used only for subsequent encounters during routine healing.
• Verify laterality (right hand) and the specific bone (first metacarpal base) are accurately documented.
• Do not use this code if the fracture is displaced, involves other metacarpals, or is experiencing delayed/non-union.
