Nondisp fx of 1st metatarsal bone, r ft, 7thD

This code signifies a non-displaced break in the first metatarsal bone of the right foot that is currently in the routine healing phase. The fracture is stable, and the patient is receiving follow-up care for its recovery.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits where a patient is being monitored for a previously diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the right first metatarsal. It applies when the fracture is healing as expected without complications, such as malunion or nonunion.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "right foot" for the first metatarsal.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing; use for follow-up care after initial treatment.
• Do not use this code for initial treatment, active treatment of complications, or sequelae.
