Nondisplaced fracture of shaft of fourth metacarpal bone, right hand, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing

📋Clinical Description

This code signifies a fracture of the shaft of the fourth metacarpal bone in the right hand that has not shifted from its anatomical position. The patient is in the healing phase, and the recovery is progressing as expected without complications.

🎯When to Use

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing care for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced right fourth metacarpal shaft fracture. It indicates that the fracture is healing routinely and no new complications or delayed healing are present.

💡Coding Tips

Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "shaft" for accurate coding.
The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for a fracture with routine healing.
Verify laterality (right hand) is clearly documented.
