Nondisp fx of 4th metatarsal bone, r ft, 7thD

This code signifies a fracture of the fourth metatarsal bone in the right foot that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal alignment. The "subsequent encounter" indicates the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, which is now healing routinely without complications.

This code is appropriate for documenting follow-up visits for a patient with a previously diagnosed, non-displaced right fourth metatarsal fracture. It applies when the fracture is progressing as expected through the healing process, such as during cast changes, follow-up X-rays showing callus formation, or physical therapy sessions for routine recovery.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "right foot" for accurate coding.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter with routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or delayed/nonunion healing.
• Confirm the fracture is of the fourth metatarsal, as other metatarsals have distinct codes.
