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

This code signifies a fracture of the bone in the middle segment of the right middle finger, specifically the part closest to the hand, which has not shifted out of alignment. This particular encounter is for follow-up care during the normal healing process of the fracture.

Use this code for subsequent visits where a patient is receiving routine follow-up care for a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced proximal phalanx fracture of the right middle finger. This includes appointments for cast changes, splint adjustments, or general monitoring of healing progress without complications. It is appropriate when the fracture is healing as expected.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "proximal phalanx" of the "right middle finger."
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or delayed/nonunion healing.
• Confirm the encounter is for ongoing management of the fracture, not for treatment of a new injury or complication.
