Disp fx of prox phalanx of l great toe, 7thD

This code signifies a fracture of the proximal phalanx of the left great toe that is no longer in its anatomical position. It indicates that the patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced proximal phalanx fracture of the left great toe is undergoing routine fracture care. This includes visits for cast checks, removal, or assessment of healing progress when no complications are present.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "proximal phalanx of left great toe."
• Confirm the encounter is for routine follow-up care, not initial treatment or a complication.
• Verify the appropriate seventh character for subsequent encounter with routine healing (D).
