Disp fx of base of second metacarpal bone, left hand, 7thD

This code signifies a fracture located at the base of the second metacarpal bone in the left hand, which is no longer in its anatomical alignment. The patient is currently in a phase of follow-up care where the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code for follow-up visits where a patient is being monitored for a previously diagnosed displaced fracture of the left second metacarpal base, and the healing process is progressing routinely. This includes appointments for cast changes, wound checks, or physical therapy evaluations during the normal healing period.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "base of second metacarpal" for the left hand.
• The 7th character 'D' is crucial, indicating a subsequent encounter with routine healing.
• Do not use for initial treatment or if healing is complicated or delayed.
