Nondisp fx of nk of 2nd MC bone, l hand, 7thD

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a patient who sustained a break in the neck of the second metacarpal bone in their left hand. The fracture is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments remain in their anatomical alignment, and the healing process is progressing routinely without complications.

This code is appropriate for subsequent visits where a patient with a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced left second metacarpal neck fracture is being monitored for routine healing. This includes follow-up appointments for cast checks, removal of immobilization devices, or general assessment of healing progress without new complications.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left hand" and "second metacarpal neck" for accurate coding.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or delayed/nonunion healing.
• Verify the fracture is explicitly documented as "nondisplaced" to differentiate from displaced fractures.
