Displaced unsp fx right great toe, subs for fx w routn heal

This code signifies a fracture of the great toe on the right foot where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal alignment. It indicates that the patient is in a follow-up phase of treatment, and the fracture is progressing as expected towards healing.

This code is appropriate for documenting follow-up visits for a right great toe fracture that was initially displaced, and the physician notes routine healing without complications. This includes scenarios where the patient is undergoing conservative management (e.g., splinting, casting) or post-surgical follow-up where the fracture is mending without issue.

• Always confirm laterality (right vs. left) and the specific toe involved.
• Ensure the "D" seventh character is appropriate for a subsequent encounter with routine healing.
• Do not use this code for initial encounters or for encounters where healing is delayed or complicated.
