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

This code signifies a follow-up visit for a left little finger distal phalanx fracture that is not displaced and is healing as expected. The patient is past the initial treatment phase and is now in the routine recovery period.

Apply this code for subsequent encounters where a patient is being monitored for a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced fracture of the distal phmost phalanx of the left little finger. This is appropriate when the fracture is progressing through normal healing without complications.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "left little finger" for accurate code assignment.
• The 7th character "D" indicates subsequent care for a fracture with routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or delayed/nonunion healing.
• Always confirm the specific phalanx (proximal, middle, or distal) and laterality from the physician's notes.
