Disp fx of second metatarsal bone, unsp foot, init

This code signifies a break in the second metatarsal bone of an unidentifiable foot, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal alignment. It indicates that the skin over the fracture site remains intact (closed fracture) and that this is the initial treatment encounter for the injury.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-aligned fracture of the second metatarsal bone, when the specific foot (left or right) is not documented. This is appropriate for the initial visit where definitive treatment, such as casting or reduction, is planned or initiated.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "closed" for accurate code assignment.
• If the specific foot (left or right) is known, a more specific code should be selected.
• Append subsequent encounter (D) or sequela (S) characters for follow-up visits or late effects, respectively.
