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

This code signifies a previously treated fracture of the first bone segment of the left great toe, which has healed in an anatomically incorrect or deformed position. The patient is currently presenting for follow-up care or management related to this malunion.

Apply this code when a patient is seen for ongoing treatment, evaluation, or complications arising from a malunited displaced fracture of the proximal phalanx of the left great toe. This includes scenarios where the malunion is being assessed for surgical correction, physical therapy, or pain management.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "malunion" and the "subsequent encounter" for the fracture.
• Verify the laterality (left) and the specific bone (proximal phalanx of great toe).
• Do not use this code for initial treatment or routine follow-up of a healing fracture without evidence of malunion.
