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

This code signifies a fracture of the first bone (proximal phalanx) of the right great toe that was initially nondisplaced but is now being treated for malunion. Malunion indicates that the fracture has healed, but in an unsatisfactory position, potentially leading to functional impairment or deformity.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient is being managed for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced proximal phalanx fracture of the right great toe that has healed incorrectly. This could include evaluations for pain, limited range of motion, or planning for corrective procedures related to the malunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and specifies the right great toe's proximal phalanx.
• Verify that the initial fracture was indeed nondisplaced, as this impacts code selection.
• Pair this diagnosis with appropriate procedure codes if surgical intervention for the malunion is performed.
