Disp fx of 3rd metatarsal bone, l ft, 7thD

Displaced fracture of third metatarsal bone, left foot, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing

📋Clinical Description

This code signifies a fracture of the third metatarsal bone in the left foot that is no longer in its anatomical alignment. The patient is in a follow-up phase where the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

🎯When to Use

Apply this code for subsequent visits related to a previously diagnosed displaced left third metatarsal fracture that is progressing through a normal healing process. This would include routine cast changes, follow-up X-rays showing callus formation, or physical therapy sessions during the routine healing period.

💡Coding Tips

Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "left foot" for the third metatarsal.
Confirm the encounter is for routine healing, not delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion.
Verify laterality (left foot) is clearly documented.
