Nondisp fx of dist phalanx of r less toe(s), 7thD

This code signifies a fracture of the furthest bone in one of the smaller toes on the right foot, where the bone fragments remain in their normal alignment. It indicates that the patient is in a follow-up phase of care, and the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code when documenting a patient's visit for ongoing management of a previously diagnosed nondisplaced distal phalanx fracture of a right lesser toe. This is appropriate for routine follow-up appointments where the physician assesses healing progress and provides continued care instructions.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "distal phalanx" of a "right lesser toe."
• The 7th character "D" is crucial for indicating a subsequent encounter with routine healing.
• Do not use for initial encounters or for fractures with delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion.
