Nondisp fx of base of second MC bone, left hand, 7thG

Nondisplaced fracture of base of second metacarpal bone, left hand, subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing

📋Clinical Description

This code signifies a fracture at the base of the second metacarpal bone in the left hand that is not displaced. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is experiencing delayed healing.

🎯When to Use

Apply this code when a patient presents for follow-up care of a left second metacarpal base fracture, and imaging or clinical assessment indicates the fracture has not healed within the expected timeframe. This is appropriate for ongoing management of a non-displaced fracture with documented delayed union.

💡Coding Tips

Ensure documentation explicitly states "delayed healing" or "delayed union" for this specific fracture.
Verify the fracture is of the base of the second metacarpal and on the left hand.
Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the fracture, not the initial treatment.
