Nondisp fx of neck of fourth MC bone, right hand, init

This code signifies a break in the neck of the fourth metacarpal bone in the right hand, where the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment. It indicates that this is the initial presentation and treatment for a closed fracture, meaning the skin is intact over the injury.

This code is appropriate for documenting a patient's first visit for a right-hand injury diagnosed as a nondisplaced fracture of the fourth metacarpal neck. This would typically follow a direct impact or crush injury to the hand, and imaging confirms the fracture without significant displacement.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and identifies the "fourth metacarpal" and "right hand."
• Verify that this is indeed the "initial encounter" for treatment of this specific fracture.
• Confirm the fracture is "closed" (no open wound communicating with the fracture site).
