Disp fx of prox phalanx of r great toe, 7thK

This code signifies a fracture of the first bone of the right great toe, where the broken bone fragments are not properly aligned. The patient is currently undergoing treatment for this fracture, but the bone has failed to heal adequately, indicating a nonunion.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced fracture of the proximal phalanx of the right great toe. This is specifically for situations where imaging or clinical assessment confirms that the fracture has not united as expected. It is used during the ongoing management of this specific complication.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" for the fracture.
• Verify the fracture location is the proximal phalanx of the right great toe.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the fracture, not the initial treatment.
