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

This code signifies a fracture of the fourth metatarsal bone in the left foot that has not shifted out of alignment. The patient is in the healing phase, and the fracture is progressing routinely without complications.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing care for a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced fourth metatarsal fracture of the left foot. It indicates that the fracture is healing as expected and no new complications or delayed healing are present. This would be used after the initial treatment phase.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "left foot" for accurate coding.
• The "D"第七 character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or malunion/nonunion.
• Verify laterality (left foot) is clearly documented to avoid coding errors.
