Nondisp unsp fx right less toe(s), subs for fx w delay heal

This code signifies a fracture of one or more lesser toes on the right foot that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal alignment. The patient is in a later stage of healing, but the fracture is not progressing as expected, indicating delayed union.

Apply this code when a patient presents for follow-up care of a previously diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the right lesser toe(s) and the provider documents that the healing process is taking longer than anticipated. This typically involves ongoing pain, swelling, or radiographic evidence of incomplete bone consolidation beyond the expected timeframe.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "right" lesser toe(s) and "nondisplaced."
• The "G" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for a fracture with delayed healing.
• Confirm the provider explicitly states or implies delayed healing in the clinical notes.
