Nondisp fx of dist phalanx of l great toe, 7thD

This code signifies a fracture of the furthest bone in the left great toe that has not shifted from its normal position. The patient is in a follow-up phase where the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code when documenting subsequent care for a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced fracture of the distal phalanx of the left great toe. This is appropriate for office visits, follow-up imaging, or physical therapy sessions during the routine healing period.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "distal phalanx" of the "left great toe."
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or delayed/nonunion healing.
• Confirm the encounter's purpose aligns with routine follow-up care for a healing fracture.
