Displ unsp fx right lesser toe(s), subs for fx w malunion

This code signifies a right lesser toe fracture that has not healed correctly, resulting in a malunion. The specific toe involved is not documented, and the fracture was initially displaced. This code is used when the patient is receiving ongoing care for the malunion.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient is being treated for a malunited fracture of an unspecified lesser toe on the right foot. This includes scenarios such as evaluation for corrective surgery, physical therapy for functional impairment due to the malunion, or monitoring of the malunion's stability.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and specifies the right foot and lesser toe(s).
• Verify that this is a subsequent encounter for the fracture care, not the initial treatment.
• Confirm the fracture was initially displaced, even if the current issue is malunion.
