Nondisp fx of shaft of 2nd MC bone, l hand, init for opn fx

This code signifies a break in the main body (shaft) of the second metacarpal bone in the left hand. The fracture fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment (nondisplaced), and the injury involves a break in the skin exposing the bone (open fracture).

Apply this code for initial treatment of an open fracture to the shaft of the left second metacarpal where the bone fragments are not separated or misaligned. This would typically be seen in cases of direct trauma to the hand resulting in an open wound communicating with the fracture site.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "open fracture" for the second metacarpal shaft.
• Verify the laterality is "left hand."
• This code is for the initial encounter; subsequent encounters will require different seventh characters.
