Nondisp fx of 1st metatarsal bone, l ft, 7thP

This code signifies a previously sustained fracture of the first metatarsal bone in the left foot that has healed in an anatomically incorrect position (malunion). The fracture itself is not currently displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still aligned, but the overall healing has resulted in a deformity.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient is being managed for a left first metatarsal fracture that has healed with malunion, and the fracture itself is no longer acutely displaced. This might include evaluations for pain, functional limitations, or planning for corrective procedures related to the malunion.

• Always confirm the laterality (left foot) and the specific bone (first metatarsal).
• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and that the encounter is subsequent to the initial injury.
• Do not use this code for initial fracture treatment or for nonunion, which is a different complication.
