Disp fx of middle phalanx of right index finger, 7thK

Displaced fracture of middle phalanx of right index finger, subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion

📋Clinical Description

This code signifies a fracture of the middle bone of the right index finger that is out of alignment and has failed to heal properly. The patient is currently being seen for ongoing management of this unhealed fracture.

🎯When to Use

Apply this code when a patient presents for follow-up care, treatment, or evaluation of a previously diagnosed displaced middle phalanx fracture of the right index finger that has not united. This includes situations where surgical intervention for nonunion is being planned or has occurred, or when conservative management for nonunion is ongoing.

💡Coding Tips

Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nonunion" and the "subsequent encounter" for the fracture.
Verify the fracture location is the middle phalanx of the right index finger and that it is displaced.
Do not use for initial treatment or routine follow-up of a healing fracture.
