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

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a fracture of the first metatarsal bone where the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment. The fracture is located in an unspecified foot, and the healing process is progressing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for subsequent visits after the initial treatment of a nondisplaced first metatarsal fracture, when the patient is demonstrating routine healing. It would be used during follow-up appointments where the physician assesses the fracture's progress, such as cast changes, X-ray reviews showing callus formation, or physical therapy evaluations.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "first metatarsal" for accurate coding.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or delayed/nonunion healing.
• Confirm the foot is unspecified; if left or right is documented, a more specific code should be used.
