Nondisp fx of 5th metatarsal bone, r ft, 7thD

Nondisplaced fracture of fifth metatarsal bone, right foot, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing

📋Clinical Description

This code signifies a fracture of the fifth metatarsal bone in the right foot that has not shifted out of alignment. It indicates that the patient is in a follow-up phase where the bone is healing as expected without complications.

🎯When to Use

Apply this code for patients presenting for routine follow-up appointments after an initial diagnosis of a nondisplaced right fifth metatarsal fracture. This includes visits for cast changes, progress checks, or physical therapy evaluations during the normal healing period.

💡Coding Tips

Ensure the encounter is for a subsequent visit, not the initial treatment.
Verify documentation confirms "nondisplaced" and "routine healing" for the right fifth metatarsal.
Do not use if there are complications, delayed healing, or malunion; different codes apply for those scenarios.
