Disp fx of middle phalanx of right ring finger, 7thD

This code signifies a fracture of the middle bone of the right ring finger that is no longer in its proper anatomical alignment. The patient is currently in a phase of routine recovery, meaning the fracture is healing as expected without complications, and this is not the initial visit for the injury.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing care for a displaced fracture of the middle phalanx of the right ring finger. This applies when the fracture is healing normally and the provider is monitoring its progress, such as during cast changes, follow-up X-rays, or physical therapy evaluations after the initial treatment.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "middle phalanx" of the "right ring finger."
• The 7th character "D" indicates a subsequent encounter for a fracture with routine healing.
• Do not use for initial treatment or encounters with delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion.
