Nondisp fx of second metatarsal bone, left foot, init

This code signifies a break in the second metatarsal bone of the left foot that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. The skin over the fracture site remains intact, indicating a closed injury.

Apply this code when documenting the initial treatment for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the second metatarsal in their left foot. This is appropriate for the first encounter where the fracture is evaluated and a treatment plan is initiated.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "left foot" for accurate code assignment.
• The "A" at the end indicates an initial encounter for a closed fracture; use subsequent encounter codes for follow-up care.
• Verify that the fracture is indeed of the second metatarsal, as other metatarsals have distinct codes.
