Nondisp fx of dist phalanx of r idx fngr, 7thK

This code signifies a fracture of the furthest bone in the right index finger that has not shifted from its normal position. The fracture has failed to heal properly, resulting in a nonunion, and the patient is presenting for follow-up care related to this ongoing issue.

Apply this code when a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced distal phalanx fracture of the right index finger is seen for treatment or evaluation of a confirmed nonunion. This would be used for subsequent visits after the initial treatment of the fracture, specifically addressing the complication of nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and specifies the right index finger's distal phalanx.
• Verify that the fracture was initially nondisplaced.
• This code is for subsequent encounters, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
