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

This code indicates a healed or residual condition stemming from a fracture at the base of the second metacarpal bone in the right hand, where the bone fragments were not displaced at the time of the original injury. It signifies that the acute phase of the fracture has passed, and the patient is now experiencing long-term effects or complications related to that past injury.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting for follow-up care, rehabilitation, or evaluation of chronic pain, stiffness, deformity, or functional limitation directly attributable to a previously sustained, nondisplaced fracture of the right second metacarpal base. This applies when the original fracture is no longer acute and the focus of care is on the lasting consequences.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following a code for the specific sequela (e.g., M25.541 for pain in right hand).
• Ensure documentation clearly states the fracture is no longer acute and describes the residual condition.
• Verify laterality (right hand) and the specific metacarpal bone (second) are accurately documented.
