Displaced fracture of middle phalanx of r mid finger, 7thD

Displaced fracture of middle phalanx of right middle finger, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing

📋Clinical Description

This code signifies a fracture of the middle bone of the right middle finger that is no longer in its proper alignment. The patient is in the healing phase, and the fracture is progressing as expected without complications.

🎯When to Use

Apply this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is receiving routine care for a displaced fracture of the middle phalanx of the right middle finger. This includes situations where the fracture is healing normally and no further intervention (beyond routine follow-up) is planned.

💡Coding Tips

Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "middle phalanx" of the "right middle finger."
Verify the encounter is for "routine healing" and not for delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion.
Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
