Disp fx of middle phalanx of unspecified finger, 7thD

Displaced fracture of middle phalanx of unspecified finger, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing

📋Clinical Description

This code signifies a fracture of the middle bone of an unspecified finger that is no longer in its anatomical alignment. The patient is in the healing phase, and the fracture is progressing as expected without complications.

🎯When to Use

Apply this code when a patient presents for a follow-up visit for a previously diagnosed displaced middle phalanx fracture of an unspecified finger. This is appropriate when the physician documents routine healing and no new complications or malunion. It is used after the initial treatment has been rendered.

💡Coding Tips

Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "middle phalanx" for accurate code selection.
The 7th character "D" indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing.
Verify that the finger is truly unspecified if a more specific code is not available or documented.
