Nondisp fx of dist phalanx of r great toe, 7thD

This code describes a fracture of the furthest bone in the great toe of the right foot that has not shifted out of alignment. The patient is in a follow-up phase of treatment, and the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for documenting a patient's visit for ongoing management of a previously diagnosed nondisplaced distal phalanx fracture of the right great toe. It should be used when the fracture is healing routinely and the encounter is not for initial treatment or for a delayed/nonunion healing complication.

• Ensure the encounter is for subsequent care and not the initial injury.
• Verify the fracture is specifically of the distal phalanx and is nondisplaced.
• Confirm the healing process is routine; otherwise, a different subsequent encounter code would be necessary.
