Nondisp fx of prox phalanx of unsp great toe, 7thD

This code signifies a fracture of the first bone segment of the great toe that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. The patient is in a follow-up phase of care, and the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code for patients presenting for routine follow-up appointments after an initial diagnosis of a nondisplaced proximal phalanx fracture of the great toe, where the healing process is progressing normally. This includes visits for cast changes, wound checks, or physical therapy evaluations during the expected healing period.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and identifies the "proximal phalanx" of the great toe.
• The 7th character "D" indicates a subsequent encounter for a fracture with routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or delayed/nonunion healing.
• Verify laterality (left, right, or unspecified) is clearly documented; if not specified, this code for "unspecified" is appropriate.
