Nondisp unsp fx right lesser toe(s), subs for fx w malunion

This code indicates a fracture of an unspecified lesser toe on the right foot that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is healing improperly, resulting in a malunion.

Apply this code when documentation confirms a right lesser toe fracture that is nondisplaced and the patient is presenting for follow-up care related to a malunion. This is appropriate for cases where the specific toe (e.g., second, third, fourth, or fifth) is not identified in the medical record.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right" foot and "lesser toe" without further anatomical detail for the toe itself.
• Confirm the fracture is described as "nondisplaced" and the encounter is for a "subsequent" phase of care with "malunion."
• If the specific lesser toe is identified (e.g., right second toe), a more specific code should be used.
