Nondisp fx of prox phalanx of r lit fngr, 7thD

This code signifies a follow-up visit for a patient who sustained a fracture to the proximal phalanx of their right little finger. The fracture is described as nondisplaced, meaning the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment. At this encounter, the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

Use this code for subsequent encounters where a previously diagnosed nondisplaced proximal phalanx fracture of the right little finger is being monitored and is progressing with routine healing. This would typically be for follow-up appointments after initial treatment, such as cast changes, splint checks, or routine X-rays confirming satisfactory healing.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "proximal phalanx" of the right little finger.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for a fracture with routine healing.
• Do not use this code if the fracture is displaced, malunion, nonunion, or if there are complications.
