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

This code signifies a fracture of the furthest bone in the right ring finger that has not shifted from its normal position. The "nonunion" aspect indicates that the fracture has failed to heal completely after a typical healing period, requiring ongoing medical attention.

Apply this code for patients presenting for follow-up care, evaluation, or treatment of a previously diagnosed nondisplaced distal phalanx fracture of the right ring finger where the fracture has not united. This includes scenarios such as continued pain, swelling, or imaging studies confirming persistent fracture lines despite initial treatment.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and specifies the "right ring finger" and "distal phalanx."
• The "nonunion" designation is crucial; differentiate from malunion or delayed union.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter for the same fracture would use a different seventh character.
