Nondisp fx of dist phalanx of l great toe, 7thK

This code signifies a fracture of the furthest bone in the left great toe that has not shifted from its normal position. The patient is currently receiving care for this fracture, which has failed to heal properly, indicating a nonunion.

Apply this code when a patient presents for follow-up treatment of a previously diagnosed nondisplaced distal phalanx fracture of the left great toe, and the documentation clearly states that the fracture has not united. This includes scenarios such as ongoing cast changes, physical therapy, or surgical planning specifically addressing the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and "nonunion" for the distal phalanx of the left great toe.
• Verify this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
• Confirm laterality (left great toe) is accurately documented.
