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

This code signifies a fracture of the furthest bone in the great toe that has not shifted out of alignment. The patient is in a later stage of healing, and the fracture is taking longer than expected to mend.

Apply this code when a patient presents for follow-up care of a great toe distal phalanx fracture that was initially nondisplaced, and the physician notes delayed healing. This would be used after the initial treatment phase and before the fracture is fully healed.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and "distal phalanx" of the great toe.
• Confirm the encounter is for ongoing fracture care with explicit mention of delayed healing.
• Laterality (left/right) is unspecified with this particular code; if known, a more specific code should be used.
