Disp fx of shaft of second metacarpal bone, left hand, init

This code signifies a break in the main body (shaft) of the second metacarpal bone in the left hand, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal alignment. This is an acute injury, and the skin over the fracture site remains intact.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-surgical fracture of the shaft of their left second metacarpal, where imaging confirms displacement of the bone fragments. This code is appropriate for the initial evaluation and treatment of such an injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left hand" and "second metacarpal" to support this code.
• Confirm the fracture is explicitly documented as "displaced" and "closed."
• The "A" suffix indicates an initial encounter for active treatment of the fracture.
