Nondisp fx of middle phalanx of unsp lesser toe(s), 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the middle bone of one or more of the lesser toes (any toe except the big toe) that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal alignment. The "G" suffix indicates that the patient is being seen for follow-up care because the fracture is healing slower than expected.

This code is appropriate for encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing treatment for a previously diagnosed, non-displaced middle phalanx fracture of a lesser toe, and the clinician notes that the healing process is prolonged. This would include follow-up appointments, imaging studies to assess healing progress, or adjustments to treatment plans due to delayed union.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the fracture is of a "middle phalanx" and involves a "lesser toe."
• The "G" suffix is crucial and should only be used when the provider explicitly documents "delayed healing."
• Always confirm laterality (left, right, or unspecified) if available in the medical record, though this specific code is for "unspecified."
