Disp fx of shaft of 2nd MC bone, r hand, 7thP

Displaced fracture of shaft of second metacarpal bone, right hand, subsequent encounter for fracture with malunion

📋Clinical Description

This code signifies a previously treated fracture of the shaft of the second metacarpal bone in the right hand that has healed, but in an anatomically incorrect or misaligned position. This malunion can lead to functional impairment and pain.

🎯When to Use

Apply this code when a patient presents for follow-up care, evaluation, or treatment of a malunited fracture of the right second metacarpal shaft. This includes scenarios where surgical correction of the malunion is being considered or performed, or for ongoing management of symptoms related to the malunion.

💡Coding Tips

Ensure documentation clearly specifies "malunion" and not just "nonunion" or "delayed healing."
Verify the laterality (right hand) and the specific bone (second metacarpal shaft).
This "P" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for a fracture with malunion.
