Disp fx of neck of second metacarpal bone, right hand, init

This code signifies a break in the neck of the second metacarpal bone (the long bone connecting the index finger to the wrist) in the right hand, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal anatomical alignment. This is an acute injury, meaning it's the initial presentation and treatment for this specific fracture.

This code is appropriate for documenting the initial diagnosis and management of a displaced fracture of the right second metacarpal neck, such as after a direct impact or fall. It should be used when the fracture has not yet received definitive treatment and the skin over the fracture site remains intact (closed fracture).

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "neck" of the second metacarpal.
• Confirm the laterality is "right hand" and that it is the patient's initial encounter for this specific injury.
• Distinguish from non-displaced fractures or fractures of other metacarpals.
