Nondisp fx of prox phalanx of r idx fngr, 7thD

This code signifies a break in the bone closest to the hand in the right index finger, which has not shifted out of alignment. The patient is in a phase of recovery where the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced fracture of the proximal phalanx of the right index finger. This is appropriate for visits where the physician is monitoring routine healing, such as cast changes, splint adjustments, or progress checks during the typical recovery period.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right index finger" and "proximal phalanx."
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing, not initial treatment or delayed healing.
• Confirm the fracture is explicitly documented as "nondisplaced."
