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

This code signifies a nondisplaced break in the bone of the proximal phalanx of the left little finger, specifically during the healing phase where the patient is receiving follow-up care and the fracture is progressing as expected. "Nondisplaced" indicates the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment.

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters when a patient is being monitored for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced fracture of the left little finger's proximal phalanx, and the healing process is routine and without complications. It would be used for office visits, follow-up imaging, or physical therapy sessions related to the healing fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and specifies the "left little finger" and "proximal phalanx."
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or delayed/nonunion healing.
• Always confirm laterality (left) and the specific digit and phalanx involved.
