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

Nondisplaced fracture of neck of fourth metacarpal bone, left hand, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing

📋Clinical Description

This code signifies a fracture of the neck of the fourth metacarpal bone in the left hand that has not shifted from its anatomical position. The patient is in a later stage of recovery, and the bone is healing as expected without complications.

🎯When to Use

Apply this code for follow-up visits where a patient is being monitored for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced left fourth metacarpal neck fracture. This is appropriate when the fracture is progressing through routine healing and no further acute intervention is planned or required.

💡Coding Tips

Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "left hand, fourth metacarpal neck."
The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing, not initial treatment or delayed healing.
Verify the encounter type aligns with routine follow-up for fracture care.
