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

This code signifies a break in the neck of the second metacarpal bone (the long bone connecting the index finger to the wrist) in the left hand, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal alignment. This injury is considered a closed fracture, meaning the skin over the fracture site remains intact.

Apply this code for initial treatment of a patient presenting with a displaced fracture of the neck of the second metacarpal in the left hand. This includes scenarios such as emergency department visits, initial orthopedic consultations, or the first surgical intervention for this specific injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "neck of second metacarpal" on the left hand.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for treatment of this specific fracture.
• Distinguish from non-displaced fractures or fractures of other metacarpals.
