Nondisp fx of dist phalanx of l rng fngr, 7thD

This code describes a fracture of the furthest bone in the left ring finger that has not shifted from its normal position. The patient is in a follow-up phase of care, and the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

Use this code for subsequent encounters when a patient is receiving ongoing care for a nondisplaced distal phalanx fracture of the left ring finger. This applies when the healing process is progressing routinely, such as during cast changes, follow-up X-rays showing callus formation, or routine check-ups after initial treatment.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "distal phalanx" of the left ring finger.
• The 7th character "D" indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing.
• Do not use for initial treatment or if complications (e.g., delayed healing, nonunion) are present.
