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

This code signifies a left foot fracture involving the second metatarsal bone that is no longer in its anatomical alignment. The patient is in the healing phase of this injury, and the encounter is for routine follow-up care without complications.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits where a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced left second metatarsal fracture is being monitored for expected healing. This includes appointments for cast changes, X-ray evaluations confirming routine callus formation, or physical therapy assessments during the uncomplicated recovery period.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "left foot" for the second metatarsal.
• Verify the encounter is for routine healing and not for initial treatment or complications.
• Do not use this code if the fracture is nonunion, malunion, or if the patient is experiencing delayed healing or other complications.
