Nondisp fx of 2nd metatarsal bone, r ft, 7thK

This code signifies a fracture of the second metatarsal bone in the right foot that has not shifted from its anatomical position. The "subsequent encounter" indicates the patient is receiving ongoing care for this fracture, and "nonunion" specifies that the bone fragments have failed to heal together after a typical healing period.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits where a patient is being treated for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced right second metatarsal fracture that has not united. This includes scenarios such as monitoring the nonunion, considering surgical intervention for nonunion, or managing complications related to the persistent fracture.

• Always confirm the laterality (right foot) and the specific metatarsal involved (second).
• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and "nonunion" for accurate code assignment.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter would use a different seventh character.
