Nondisp fx of middle phalanx of right middle finger, 7thK

This code signifies a fracture of the middle bone of the right middle finger that has not shifted out of alignment. The key aspect here is that the fracture is not healing as expected, indicating a nonunion, and the patient is presenting for follow-up care related to this ongoing issue.

Use this code when a patient presents for a subsequent visit concerning a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced fracture of the middle phalanx of the right middle finger, and the physician documents that the fracture is experiencing nonunion. This would apply to scenarios such as ongoing treatment, evaluation of nonunion, or planning for further intervention due to the lack of healing.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" for the subsequent encounter.
• Verify the fracture is specifically of the middle phalanx and is nondisplaced.
• Confirm the laterality is the right middle finger.
