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

This code signifies a past fracture of the neck of the second metacarpal bone in the right hand that healed in a displaced position, leading to persistent symptoms or complications. It indicates that the initial injury has resolved, but its lasting effects are now being addressed.

Apply this code when a patient presents with ongoing issues, such as pain, deformity, limited range of motion, or functional impairment, directly attributable to a previously displaced and healed fracture of the second metacarpal neck. This is appropriate for follow-up care addressing the long-term consequences of the injury.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., M20.021 for malunion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the old, displaced fracture.
• Verify the laterality (right hand) and the specific bone (second metacarpal neck) are accurately documented.
