Nondisp fx of 1st metatarsal bone, r ft, 7thG

This code signifies a right foot injury involving a break in the first metatarsal bone that has not shifted from its normal alignment. The patient is currently in a phase of treatment where the fracture is healing slower than expected.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced fracture of the right first metatarsal is being managed for delayed union. This would include visits for cast changes, imaging to assess healing progress, or adjustments to the treatment plan due to the slow healing.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and specifies the "first metatarsal" of the "right foot."
• The "G" seventh character indicates delayed healing, so confirm this is explicitly documented by the provider.
• Do not use for initial encounters or for fractures that are healing normally.
