Nondisp fx of middle phalanx of right lesser toe(s), 7thP

This code signifies a fracture of the middle bone of one of the right lesser toes (any toe other than the big toe) that has not shifted out of alignment, and is now being treated for a complication where the bone has healed in an incorrect position. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care for this specific fracture and its related malunion.

Apply this code when a patient presents for follow-up care, physical therapy, or surgical intervention specifically addressing a malunion that developed after a nondisplaced fracture of the middle phalanx of a right lesser toe. This would be used after the initial treatment of the acute fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" for the original fracture and "malunion" as the current complication.
• Verify the laterality is "right" and the specific toe involved is a "lesser toe."
• Confirm this is a "subsequent encounter" for the fracture and its malunion, not the initial treatment.
