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

This code signifies a fracture of the furthest bone in the right little finger that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. The encounter is for ongoing management of this fracture, specifically when the bone fragments have failed to heal together after a typical healing period.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits where a patient is being treated for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced fracture of the right little finger's distal phalanx, and imaging or clinical assessment confirms that the fracture has not united. This includes situations where further intervention, such as bone grafting or revision surgery, is being considered or performed due to the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "right little finger" and "distal phalanx."
• Verify that the fracture is explicitly documented as "nondisplaced" and that the encounter is for "nonunion."
• Always sequence this code after any codes for procedures performed during the encounter related to the nonunion.
