Disp fx of prox phalanx of r mid fngr, 7thD

This code signifies a fracture of the bone closest to the hand in the right middle finger, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal alignment. This specific code is used when the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture and it is healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code for patients presenting for routine follow-up appointments, such as cast changes, X-ray evaluations, or physical therapy, after the initial treatment of a displaced proximal phalanx fracture of the right middle finger. It indicates that the fracture is progressing through its normal healing stages.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "proximal phalanx" of the "right middle finger."
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or delayed/nonunion healing.
• Always confirm laterality (right vs. left) and the specific digit involved.
