Nondisp fx of dist phalanx of r mid fngr, 7thK

This code signifies a fracture of the furthest bone in the right middle finger that is still in its normal anatomical position. The patient is in a later stage of care for this injury, and the fracture has failed to heal properly, indicating a nonunion.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient whose right middle finger's distal phalanx fracture, initially nondisplaced, has not united. This is appropriate for subsequent visits where the nonunion is being managed, such as for continued immobilization, physical therapy, or preparation for surgical intervention to address the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "right middle finger" and "distal phalanx."
• Confirm the fracture is explicitly described as "nondisplaced" and the encounter is "subsequent" with "nonunion."
• Always sequence this code after any associated external cause codes, if applicable.
