Nondisp fx of dist phalanx of r rng fngr, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the furthest bone in the right ring finger that has not shifted out of alignment. The patient is in a phase of recovery where the fracture is not healing at the expected rate.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a right ring finger distal phalanx fracture that is confirmed to be nondisplaced, and the physician notes delayed healing. This would be used after the initial treatment phase, during subsequent visits for ongoing management.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and "delayed healing" for the right ring finger's distal phalanx.
• Verify this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment or a sequela.
• Confirm the laterality (right) and specific digit (ring finger) are clearly documented.
