Oth nondisp fx of base of 1st MC bone, l hand, 7thD

Other nondisplaced fracture of base of first metacarpal bone, left hand, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing

📋Clinical Description

This code indicates a fracture at the base of the first metacarpal bone (thumb) in the left hand, which is not displaced. The patient is in a follow-up phase where the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

🎯When to Use

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced left first metacarpal base fracture is receiving routine follow-up care. It signifies that the fracture is progressing through normal healing stages. Do not use for initial treatment or if healing is delayed or complicated.

💡Coding Tips

Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "left hand" for the first metacarpal base.
The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing.
Confirm that the encounter is for ongoing management of the fracture, not for initial treatment or complications.
