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

This code signifies a fracture of the long, central part of the second metacarpal bone in the right hand that is not displaced. The "subsequent encounter" indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and "delayed healing" specifies that the bone is not mending at the expected rate.

This code is appropriate for documenting ongoing treatment for a right second metacarpal shaft fracture that has not healed within the typical timeframe. It would be used during clinic visits, physical therapy, or other encounters where the primary focus is monitoring and managing the delayed union of this specific fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" for the right second metacarpal shaft.
• Verify the encounter is for follow-up care, not initial treatment.
• Confirm the fracture is specifically of the shaft and is nondisplaced.
