Nondisp fx of prox phalanx of l less toe(s), 7thD

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a fracture in the proximal phalanx of one or more of the left lesser toes (toes 2-5). The fracture is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment, and the healing process is progressing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for subsequent visits where a patient is being monitored for a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced fracture of the left lesser toe proximal phalanx. It indicates that the fracture is healing routinely and no complications or delayed healing are present. This would be used after the initial treatment and before the fracture is fully healed.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "routine healing" for subsequent encounters.
• Verify the fracture location is the proximal phalanx of a left lesser toe(s).
• Do not use for initial encounters or if healing is complicated, delayed, or nonunion.
