Disp fx of nk of 2nd MC bone, r hand, 7thD

This code signifies a fracture of the neck of the second metacarpal bone in the right hand, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal alignment. The "subsequent encounter" indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and "routine healing" suggests that the recovery process is progressing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits where a patient is being monitored for a displaced fracture of the right second metacarpal neck. It should be used when the fracture is healing routinely, such as during cast changes, physical therapy evaluations, or follow-up imaging to assess callus formation.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "neck of second metacarpal" for the right hand.
• Verify the encounter type is "subsequent" and that healing is described as "routine."
• Do not use this code for initial treatment or for fractures with delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion.
