Disp fx of dist phalanx of r great toe, 7thP

This code signifies a fracture of the furthest bone in the great toe of the right foot that has shifted out of its normal alignment. The patient is currently receiving care for this fracture, and the bone is healing in an imperfect or misaligned position.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a right great toe distal phalanx fracture that was initially displaced and is now demonstrating malunion. This includes scenarios where the patient is undergoing treatment for the malunion or for ongoing symptoms related to the improperly healed fracture.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right" great toe and "distal" phalanx.
• Confirm the encounter is for a "subsequent" visit and that "malunion" is explicitly noted.
• Do not use for initial fracture treatment or for nonunion (failure to heal).
