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

This code signifies a past injury involving a break in the neck of the second metacarpal bone in the right hand, where the bone fragments remained in their normal anatomical alignment. The "sequela" designation indicates that this code is used to report a condition that is a late effect or complication of the initial fracture, not the acute injury itself.

Use this code when documenting or billing for ongoing issues, chronic pain, limited range of motion, or other long-term consequences directly attributable to a previously sustained nondisplaced fracture of the right second metacarpal neck. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters occurring after the initial healing phase of the fracture.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following a primary code that describes the specific sequela being treated (e.g., chronic pain, malunion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the previous nondisplaced fracture of the right second metacarpal neck.
• Do not use this code for the initial treatment of the acute fracture; instead, use the appropriate acute fracture code.
