Unspecified physeal fracture of left metatarsal, 7thD

This code signifies a follow-up visit for a fracture involving the growth plate (physis) of an unspecified metatarsal bone in the left foot. At this stage, the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code for subsequent encounters where a patient is receiving routine follow-up care for a previously diagnosed left metatarsal physeal fracture. This includes appointments for cast changes, wound checks, or clinical assessments confirming uncomplicated healing.

• Ensure the documentation specifies a left metatarsal fracture and confirms routine healing.
• Verify this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment.
• Do not use if the fracture is experiencing delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion.
