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

This code signifies a healed or healing fracture of the first bone in the left great toe, where the bone fragments have joined in an imperfect or misaligned position. The initial injury has already occurred, and the patient is presenting for follow-up care related to this malunion.

Apply this code when a patient is seen for ongoing management of a previously sustained, nondisplaced fracture of the proximal phalanx of the left great toe that has healed with an unsatisfactory alignment. This includes visits for assessing the functional impact of the malunion, planning corrective procedures, or monitoring conservative management.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "malunion" and specifies the left great toe's proximal phalanx.
• Verify the encounter is for follow-up care related to the fracture's healing, not the initial injury.
• Confirm the fracture was initially nondisplaced, as displaced fractures have different coding pathways.
