Nondisp unsp fx unsp great toe, subs for fx w delay heal

This code signifies a fracture of the great toe that is not displaced and the specific location within the great toe is not documented. The patient is in a later stage of healing, experiencing a delay in the expected recovery process for the fracture.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed, unspecified, nondisplaced great toe fracture is presenting with evidence of delayed healing. This might include persistent pain, swelling, or radiographic findings indicating incomplete bone union beyond the typical healing timeframe.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" for the fracture.
• Verify the fracture is explicitly noted as "nondisplaced" and involves the "great toe."
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
