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

This code signifies a fracture of the middle bone of the left ring finger that has shifted out of alignment. The patient is in a follow-up phase of treatment, and the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code for subsequent visits where a patient is being monitored for a healing displaced fracture of the left ring finger's middle phalanx. This includes routine cast checks, follow-up X-rays showing callus formation, or physical therapy sessions during the normal healing period.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "middle phalanx" of the "left ring finger."
• The 7th character "D" is crucial for subsequent encounters with routine healing.
• Do not use this code for initial treatment or for encounters involving delayed or complicated healing.
