Disp fx of prox phalanx of r lit fngr, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the proximal phalanx of the right little finger that has not healed as expected. The fracture fragments are no longer in their anatomical alignment, and the patient is in a phase of treatment following the initial encounter, specifically for the delayed healing.

This code is appropriate for patients presenting for follow-up care of a right little finger proximal phalanx fracture where the healing process is prolonged and the fracture remains displaced. It applies after the initial treatment has been rendered and the patient is undergoing continued management for the non-union or delayed healing.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right little finger" and "proximal phalanx" to support this specific code.
• Verify that the encounter is for "subsequent" care and that "delayed healing" is clearly documented.
• Confirm the fracture is still "displaced" at the time of this encounter.
