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

This code signifies a fracture of the furthest bone in the right great toe that has not shifted from its normal position, and the patient is receiving ongoing care for this injury. Specifically, the fracture is healing incorrectly, resulting in a malunion. This indicates a complication in the healing process where the bone fragments have joined in an abnormal alignment.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient whose right great toe distal phalanx fracture is healing with a noticeable deformity or angulation. This applies to situations where the initial treatment has concluded, but the bone has not united properly, and further intervention or monitoring for this malunion is occurring.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and specifies the right great toe distal phalanx.
• Verify that the encounter is for follow-up care related to the fracture's healing complication, not the initial treatment.
• Distinguish from nonunion (S92.425-) where the bone has not healed at all.
