Nondisp unsp fx left great toe, subs for fx w routn heal

This code indicates a fracture of the left great toe (hallux) that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment. The patient is in the healing phase, and the fracture is progressing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits where a patient is being monitored for a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced fracture of the left great toe. It signifies that the fracture is healing routinely and no further intervention beyond standard follow-up is anticipated at this stage.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left great toe" and "nondisplaced" for accurate coding.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for a fracture with routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or delayed/nonunion healing.
• Verify that the encounter is for ongoing fracture care, not for unrelated issues.
