Nondisp fx of prox phalanx of r great toe, 7thD

This code signifies a break in the bone of the great toe's proximal phalanx on the right foot, where the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment. The patient is in a phase of follow-up care, and the fracture is progressing as expected towards full recovery.

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters when a patient is receiving ongoing management for a nondisplaced fracture of the right great toe's proximal phalanx. It should be used when documentation indicates routine healing, without complications or delayed union. This applies to office visits, follow-up imaging, or physical therapy sessions during the healing phase.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and identifies the "proximal phalanx" of the "right great toe."
• Verify that the encounter is for follow-up care and that healing is described as "routine" or "expected."
• Do not use this code for initial treatment, malunion, nonunion, or delayed healing; those scenarios require different seventh characters.
