Nondisp fx of base of 2nd MC bone, r hand, 7thG

Nondisplaced fracture of base of second metacarpal bone, right hand, subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing

📋Clinical Description

This code describes a fracture at the base of the second metacarpal bone in the right hand that was initially diagnosed and is now being treated for delayed healing. The fracture itself is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment.

🎯When to Use

Use this code when a patient presents for follow-up care of a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced fracture of the base of their right second metacarpal, and the healing process is progressing slower than expected. This indicates the patient is still receiving active treatment for the fracture, but it is not healing at the anticipated rate.

💡Coding Tips

Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" for the fracture.
Verify the fracture is specifically of the base of the second metacarpal and is nondisplaced.
Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the fracture, not the initial treatment.
