Nondisp fx of 2nd metatarsal bone, r ft, 7thD

This code signifies a follow-up visit for a patient who previously sustained a break in the second metatarsal bone of their right foot. The fracture is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment. This encounter indicates that the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing care for a nondisplaced right second metatarsal fracture that is progressing with routine healing. This includes follow-up appointments for cast changes, imaging to assess healing progress, or clinical evaluations during the recovery period. It should be used after the initial treatment of the acute fracture.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "right foot" for the second metatarsal.
• The 7th character "D" indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or delayed/nonunion.
• Verify the encounter type aligns with routine follow-up care, not for complications or new injuries.
