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

📋Clinical Description

This code signifies a previously treated fracture of the neck of the second metacarpal bone in the right hand, which has healed in an unsatisfactory alignment (malunion). The patient is currently receiving care for this malunited fracture.

🎯When to Use

Apply this code when a patient presents for follow-up care, rehabilitation, or surgical intervention specifically addressing a malunited fracture of the right second metacarpal neck. This includes situations where the malunion is causing functional impairment or pain and requires further medical attention.

💡Coding Tips

Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and specifies the "second metacarpal neck" of the "right hand."
This "P" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for a fracture with malunion, not an initial treatment or routine follow-up for a healing fracture.
Verify laterality (right hand) is explicitly documented to support code selection.
