Nondisp fx of prox phalanx of l mid fngr, 7thK

This code describes a situation where a patient has a fracture in the proximal bone of their left middle finger that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal alignment. The fracture, however, has failed to heal properly, indicating a nonunion. This specific code is used for follow-up care related to this unhealed fracture.

Use this code for a patient presenting for ongoing treatment, evaluation, or management of a previously diagnosed nondisplaced proximal phalanx fracture of the left middle finger that has been confirmed as a nonunion. This applies to visits where the focus is on addressing the persistent lack of healing, such as considering surgical intervention for nonunion or monitoring its progression.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and specifies the left middle finger's proximal phalanx.
• Verify the encounter is for subsequent care, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
• Confirm the fracture is explicitly documented as "nondisplaced."
