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

This code signifies a fracture of the furthest bone in the right great toe that has not shifted out of alignment, and the patient is currently receiving care for this fracture because it is not healing at the expected rate. This indicates ongoing management for a complication of the initial injury, specifically delayed union.

Apply this code when a patient presents for follow-up care of a previously diagnosed nondisplaced distal phalanx fracture of the right great toe, and the physician documents that the fracture is experiencing delayed healing. This would include scenarios where imaging shows incomplete bone formation or persistent pain beyond the typical healing timeframe.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "delayed healing" or similar terminology for the fracture.
• Verify the fracture is specifically of the distal phalanx and on the right great toe.
• This code is for subsequent encounters, not the initial injury or routine follow-up without healing complications.
