Disloc of MC (bone), proximal end of right hand, init

This code signifies a displacement of the metacarpal bone from its normal articulation at the proximal end, specifically affecting the right hand. This injury involves the joint closest to the wrist, where the metacarpal meets the carpal bones.

Use this code for the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a traumatic dislocation of the metacarpal bone in their right hand, specifically at the carpometacarpal joint. This applies to new injuries requiring initial evaluation and management.

• Ensure documentation specifies the right hand and the proximal (carpometacarpal) end of the metacarpal.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for this specific injury; subsequent care will require different seventh characters.
• Verify the type of metacarpal involved if specified (e.g., first, second, etc.) as more specific codes may exist.
