Disp fx of prox phalanx of l mid fngr, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the proximal phalanx (the bone closest to the hand) in the left middle finger that has shifted out of its normal alignment. The patient is in a later stage of treatment, and the fracture is not healing as quickly as expected.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a displaced fracture of the left middle finger's proximal phalanx, and the physician notes delayed healing. This would typically be used during subsequent office visits, physical therapy, or imaging studies performed to monitor the fracture's progress.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" for the fracture.
• Verify the fracture location is specifically the proximal phalanx of the left middle finger.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment.
