Nondisp unsp fx left great toe, subs for fx w nonunion

This code signifies a fracture of the left great toe (hallux) that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. The patient is in a later stage of treatment where the fracture has failed to heal properly, indicating a nonunion.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced fracture of the left great toe. This is specifically for encounters where the physician identifies or treats a nonunion of that fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and specifies the "left great toe."
• Confirm the encounter is for follow-up care and the fracture has failed to unite.
• Do not use for initial fracture treatment or for fractures that are healing normally.
