Nondisp fx of shaft of 2nd MC bone, r hand, 7thP

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a fracture of the shaft of the second metacarpal bone in the right hand, where the bone fragments did not align correctly during the healing process (malunion). The initial fracture itself was nondisplaced, meaning the bone fragments remained in their anatomical position at the time of injury.

This code is appropriate for encounters where a patient is being treated for complications arising from a previously sustained, nondisplaced right second metacarpal shaft fracture that has healed with malunion. This could include assessments for pain, functional limitations, or planning for corrective procedures related to the malunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "malunion" and not "nonunion" for accurate coding.
• Verify the fracture location is the shaft of the second metacarpal and laterality is right hand.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the fracture, not the initial treatment.
