Sltr-haris Type II physeal fx right metatarsal, 7thB

This code signifies a specific type of growth plate fracture (Salter-Harris Type II) affecting one of the long bones in the arch of the right foot (metatarsal). The fracture extends through the growth plate and into the metaphysis, and the skin is broken, exposing the bone.

Apply this code when documenting the initial treatment for an open Salter-Harris Type II fracture of a right metatarsal bone. This is used for the first encounter where the patient is receiving active treatment for the fracture.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right" metatarsal and "open" fracture.
• Confirm the Salter-Harris classification as Type II.
• This code is for the initial encounter; subsequent care will require different encounter codes.
