Disp fx of base of second MC bone, right hand, sequela

This code indicates a long-term complication or late effect stemming from a previously displaced fracture at the base of the second metacarpal bone in the right hand. This could encompass conditions like chronic pain, nonunion, malunion, nerve damage, or persistent functional impairment directly attributable to the original injury.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing issues or conditions that are a direct consequence of a past displaced fracture of the right second metacarpal base. This is appropriate for follow-up visits addressing residual problems after the initial healing phase has concluded.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., M25.541 for chronic pain, M84.454A for malunion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the previous right second metacarpal base fracture.
• The "S" seventh character indicates sequela and should only be used for complications or conditions arising after the acute phase of the injury has passed.
