Nondisp fx of nk of 4th MC bone, r hand, 7thD

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a fracture located in the neck of the fourth metacarpal bone in the right hand. At this stage, the fracture is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment, and the healing process is progressing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for subsequent visits where a patient is being monitored for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced right fourth metacarpal neck fracture that is healing routinely. This would include follow-up appointments for cast checks, physical therapy evaluations, or imaging to assess ongoing bone consolidation.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "neck of fourth metacarpal bone, right hand."
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for a fracture with routine healing.
• Do not use for initial encounters or for fractures with delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion.
