Nondisp fx of middle phalanx of right little finger, 7thD

This code signifies a fracture of the middle bone in the right little finger that has not shifted out of alignment. The patient is in a follow-up phase where the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code for subsequent visits where a patient is receiving routine care for a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced middle phalanx fracture of the right little finger. This includes cast checks, wound care, or physical therapy during the normal healing period.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "middle phalanx" of the right little finger.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing.
• Do not use for initial treatment or if complications arise; different seventh characters would apply.
