Nondisp fx of 2nd metatarsal bone, l ft, 7thK

This code signifies a fracture of the second metatarsal bone in the left foot that has not shifted out of its normal alignment. The patient is currently undergoing treatment for this fracture, but the bone is failing to heal properly, indicating a nonunion.

This code is appropriate for documentation of ongoing care for a left second metatarsal fracture where imaging or clinical assessment confirms that the bone fragments remain in their anatomical position, but the fracture has not united. This would be used during follow-up visits or subsequent treatment phases for this specific nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and identifies the "second metatarsal" of the "left foot."
• Verify that the encounter is for ongoing treatment of the fracture and specifically addresses the nonunion.
• Distinguish from initial encounters or encounters for routine healing without complications.
