Disp fx of middle phalanx of right lesser toe(s), 7thD

This code signifies a break in the middle bone of one of the smaller toes on the right foot, where the bone fragments are no longer properly aligned. This specific code is used when the patient is seen for follow-up care and the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code for patients presenting for routine follow-up appointments after an initial diagnosis of a displaced middle phalanx fracture of a right lesser toe. This includes visits for cast changes, wound checks, or general monitoring of the healing process during the typical recovery period.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "routine healing" for accurate code assignment.
• Verify the fracture location is the "middle phalanx" and laterality is "right lesser toe(s)."
• The 7th character "D" indicates a subsequent encounter for a fracture with routine healing.
