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

This code signifies a fracture of the third metatarsal bone in the left foot that has not shifted out of alignment. The patient is in a later stage of recovery, where the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced fracture of the left third metatarsal. This includes routine cast changes, physical therapy evaluations, or imaging to confirm ongoing, uncomplicated bone healing.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "left foot" for the third metatarsal.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing, not initial treatment or delayed healing.
• Pair with appropriate procedure codes for services rendered during the follow-up visit.
