Disp fx of second metatarsal bone, right foot, init

This code signifies a break in the second metatarsal bone of the right foot, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal alignment. This specific code is used for the initial treatment phase of a fracture that has not broken through the skin.

Apply this code when a patient presents for the first time with a newly diagnosed, non-compound fracture of the right second metatarsal that shows displacement on imaging. This would include scenarios such as an emergency department visit or an initial orthopedic consultation following an acute injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right foot" and "second metatarsal" to support this precise code.
• Verify the fracture is explicitly described as "displaced" and "closed" in the medical record.
• The "A" suffix indicates an initial encounter for active treatment; use subsequent encounter codes for follow-up care.
