Nondisp fx of base of third MC bone, right hand, sequela

This code indicates a long-term complication or late effect stemming from a previously sustained, non-displaced fracture at the base of the third metacarpal bone in the right hand. This means the original fracture has healed, but the patient is now experiencing residual issues directly attributable to that past injury.

Apply this code when documenting a patient encounter for a sequela (e.g., chronic pain, stiffness, deformity, nonunion, malunion, or functional limitation) directly resulting from a healed, non-displaced fracture of the right third metacarpal base. This is used for follow-up care long after the initial injury and acute healing phase.

• Always use an additional code to specify the nature of the sequela (e.g., M25.541 for chronic pain in the right hand).
• This code is for sequela only; do not use it for initial treatment or active healing of the fracture.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past right third metacarpal base fracture.
