Disp fx of 2nd metatarsal bone, r ft, 7thD

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a fracture of the second metatarsal bone in the right foot that was initially displaced. At this stage, the fracture is healing as expected without complications. This indicates the patient is progressing through the normal recovery period for this type of injury.

This code is appropriate for subsequent visits where a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced right second metatarsal fracture is being monitored for routine healing. This includes appointments for cast changes, follow-up X-rays showing callus formation, or clinical assessments confirming an uncomplicated recovery. It should be used when the fracture is on track for expected union.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "right foot" and "second metatarsal" to support laterality and specificity.
• Confirm the encounter is for "subsequent" care and that healing is "routine" or "uncomplicated" to differentiate from initial or complicated encounters.
• Verify that the initial fracture was indeed "displaced" as documented in the patient's history.
