Disp fx of 2nd metatarsal bone, unsp ft, 7thD

This code signifies a fracture of the second metatarsal bone that is no longer in its anatomical alignment, located in an unspecified foot. This particular encounter is for follow-up care during the normal healing process of the previously diagnosed fracture.

Apply this code when a patient presents for a routine follow-up visit for a displaced second metatarsal fracture, and the physician documents that the fracture is healing as expected. This would include scenarios such as cast checks, removal of immobilization devices, or follow-up X-rays confirming routine healing without complications.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "routine healing" for the second metatarsal.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter would use a different seventh character.
• Verify the foot is unspecified; if left or right is documented, a more specific code should be chosen.
