Disp fx of dist phalanx of r great toe, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the outermost bone in the right great toe that has shifted out of its normal alignment. The patient is in a later stage of care for this injury, and the healing process is taking longer than typically expected.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient is still receiving care for a displaced right great toe distal phalanx fracture, and the provider documents delayed healing. This would include situations where the fracture site is not showing expected callus formation or union within the typical timeframe.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "displaced" and "delayed healing" for the right great toe's distal phalanx.
• Verify this is a "subsequent encounter" and not the initial treatment for the fracture.
• Confirm laterality (right) and the specific phalanx (distal) are clearly documented.
