Nondisp fx of dist phalanx of l mid fngr, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the furthest bone in the left middle finger that has not shifted from its normal position. The patient is currently in a phase of treatment where the fracture is healing slower than expected.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a non-displaced distal phalanx fracture of the left middle finger who is experiencing delayed union. This is appropriate for subsequent visits after the initial treatment, where the focus is on monitoring and managing the slow healing process.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" for the fracture.
• Verify the fracture is specifically of the distal phalanx and on the left middle finger.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
