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

This code signifies a break in the neck of the third metacarpal bone in the right hand, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal anatomical alignment. This type of fracture is often caused by direct trauma or a "boxer's fracture" mechanism.

Apply this code for the initial treatment of a closed fracture (skin intact) involving a displaced break in the neck of the right third metacarpal. This is appropriate for the first encounter where the fracture is diagnosed and treatment is initiated.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "neck" of the third metacarpal.
• Confirm the fracture is on the "right hand" and is a "closed" injury.
• The "A" seventh character indicates an initial encounter for active treatment.
