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

This code signifies a fracture of the proximal phalanx in the right middle finger that has not shifted from its original position. The patient is in a follow-up period where the fracture is healing slower than expected.

Apply this code for subsequent encounters when a patient with a nondisplaced right middle finger proximal phalanx fracture is experiencing delayed healing. This would typically be used after the initial treatment phase, during ongoing management of the fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "proximal phalanx" of the right middle finger.
• The "G" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter with delayed healing; verify this status in the physician's notes.
• Do not use for initial treatment or for fractures healing normally.
