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

This code indicates a patient is receiving follow-up care for a right middle finger fracture, specifically involving the middle phalanx, where the bone fragments have not aligned correctly during the healing process (malunion). The fracture itself was initially nondisplaced, meaning the bone ends remained in their normal anatomical position at the time of injury.

Use this code when documenting subsequent encounters for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced fracture of the right middle finger's middle phalanx that has healed with malunion. This applies to situations where the patient is being evaluated for ongoing symptoms, functional limitations, or considering interventions related to the malunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "right middle finger" and "middle phalanx."
• Verify the encounter is for subsequent care related to the fracture and specifically addresses the malunion.
• Distinguish from nonunion (failure to heal) or delayed union (slower than expected healing).
