ICD-10-CMDisplaced fracture of neck of second metacarpal bone, right hand, initial encounter for open fracture
This code signifies a break in the neck of the second metacarpal bone in the right hand, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal anatomical alignment. It specifically indicates that the fracture has broken through the skin, exposing the bone to the external environment.
This code is appropriate for the initial treatment of a patient presenting with an open fracture of the right second metacarpal neck. This would include scenarios such as a crush injury or a direct blow that resulted in both the bone fracture and a skin laceration communicating with the fracture site.
