Oth nondisp fx of base of first MC bone, right hand, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual condition resulting from a past, non-displaced fracture at the base of the first metacarpal bone in the right hand. This type of fracture, often referred to as a Bennett's or Rolando fracture when involving the joint, has fully consolidated but may still present with ongoing symptoms or functional limitations. The "sequela" indicates that the current encounter addresses a long-term effect of the original injury.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with chronic pain, stiffness, deformity, or functional impairment in the right thumb or hand, directly attributable to a previously sustained and now healed non-displaced fracture of the first metacarpal base. This is appropriate for follow-up visits addressing the long-term consequences of the injury, rather than the acute fracture itself.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following a code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, osteoarthritis).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past fracture of the right first metacarpal base.
• Verify that the fracture was explicitly documented as "nondisplaced" and located at the "base" of the first metacarpal.
