Nondisp fx of neck of second MC bone, left hand, sequela

This code signifies a previous injury involving a fracture of the neck of the second metacarpal bone in the left hand that was not displaced at the time of the original injury. The "sequela" designation indicates that this code is used to report a late effect or complication directly resulting from that initial fracture, even if the fracture itself has healed.

This code is appropriate when a patient presents with ongoing symptoms, complications, or conditions directly attributable to a past, non-displaced fracture of the neck of the left second metacarpal. Examples include chronic pain, stiffness, deformity, or functional limitations that persist after the acute phase of healing. It should be used for follow-up encounters addressing these long-term effects.

• Always sequence this sequela code after the code(s) describing the specific late effect or complication being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the previous non-displaced fracture of the left second metacarpal neck.
• Verify laterality (left hand) and the specific bone (second metacarpal) and location (neck) are accurately reflected.
