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

This code describes a fracture of the furthest bone in the left ring finger that is not aligned correctly but has not healed as expected. It indicates that the patient is presenting for follow-up care or management of this specific fracture, which has failed to unite.

This code is appropriate for encounters where a patient is being treated for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced fracture of the distal phalanx of the left ring finger that has developed nonunion. This includes visits for assessing the nonunion, planning further interventions, or managing complications related to the non-healing fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nonunion" for the subsequent encounter.
• Verify the fracture location is the distal phalanx of the left ring finger.
• Confirm the fracture was initially "nondisplaced" to use this specific code.
