Nondisp fx of base of second MC bone, right hand, init

This code signifies a break in the base of the second metacarpal bone in the right hand that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. It indicates that the fracture is new and is being treated for the first time, and the skin over the fracture site remains intact.

This code is appropriate for documenting the initial diagnosis and treatment of a stable, non-displaced fracture at the proximal end of the second metacarpal bone in the right hand. This would include scenarios such as an emergency department visit for an acute injury or the first orthopedic consultation following a fall or direct impact to the hand.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "initial encounter" for a closed fracture.
• Verify the laterality (right hand) and the specific bone (second metacarpal) are clearly stated in the medical record.
• Do not use this code for displaced fractures, subsequent encounters, or open fractures.
