Disp fx of middle phalanx of r little finger, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the middle bone of the right little finger that is no longer in its anatomical alignment. The patient is currently in a phase of treatment where the fracture is not healing at the expected rate.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a displaced fracture of the right little finger's middle phalanx, specifically when the healing process is prolonged or slower than anticipated. This would be used after the initial treatment phase and before the fracture has fully healed.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "displaced" and "middle phalanx" of the right little finger.
• The "G" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for a fracture with delayed healing; do not use for initial treatment or routine healing.
• Confirm laterality (right) is explicitly stated in the medical record.
