Nondisp fx of second metatarsal bone, right foot, init

This code signifies a break in the second metatarsal bone of the right foot that has not resulted in bone displacement. It indicates an acute injury where the skin over the fracture is intact (closed fracture). This type of injury is often caused by direct trauma or repetitive stress.

Apply this code for initial encounters when a patient presents with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced closed fracture of the right second metatarsal. This is appropriate for the first visit where the fracture is identified and treatment is initiated. It should be used before any definitive treatment, such as casting or surgical intervention, has been performed.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "closed" for accurate code assignment.
• Verify the laterality (right foot) and the specific metatarsal bone (second) are clearly documented.
• The "A" suffix indicates an initial encounter for the fracture; use subsequent encounter codes for follow-up care.
