Disp fx of shaft of second MC bone, right hand, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual condition resulting from a previously displaced fracture of the shaft of the second metacarpal bone in the right hand. It indicates that the initial injury has resolved, but there are lasting effects or complications directly attributable to that fracture.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing pain, deformity, limited range of motion, nonunion, malunion, or other long-term sequelae directly related to a past displaced fracture of the right second metacarpal shaft. This applies when the acute phase of the fracture has passed and the current encounter addresses these lasting effects.

• Always sequence the sequela code first, followed by any additional codes for specific manifestations of the sequela (e.g., chronic pain, malunion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the previous fracture of the right second metacarpal shaft.
• Do not use this code for initial or subsequent encounters during the active treatment phase of the fracture; use appropriate acute or healing fracture codes instead.
