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

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a fracture of the furthest bone in an unspecified great toe that has not healed properly. The fracture fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment, but the bone has failed to unite after a previous treatment.

This code is appropriate for documenting ongoing care for a patient whose distal great toe fracture has been diagnosed with nonunion. It would be used during subsequent visits for monitoring, further diagnostic imaging, or planning for interventions such as bone grafting or revision surgery due to the persistent nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" as the complication of the fracture.
• Verify the fracture is specifically of the distal phalanx and that the great toe is unspecified.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
