Nondisp fx of 2nd metatarsal bone, l ft, 7thG

This code describes a fracture of the second metatarsal bone in the left foot that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal alignment. The patient is currently in a phase of treatment where the fracture is healing slower than expected.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing care for a nondisplaced left second metatarsal fracture that has been identified as having delayed healing. This would include visits for cast changes, imaging to assess healing progress, or adjustments to the treatment plan due to the delayed union.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "delayed healing" for the fracture.
• Verify the fracture is indeed of the second metatarsal and on the left foot.
• This code is for subsequent encounters, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
