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

This code describes a fracture of the proximal phalanx of a lesser toe on the left foot that is not displaced. The "subsequent encounter" indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and "nonunion" specifies that the bone is failing to heal properly.

This code is appropriate for documenting ongoing treatment for a left lesser toe proximal phalanx fracture where the bone fragments are still aligned but are not showing signs of successful union. This would be used during clinic visits, imaging studies, or other interventions aimed at addressing the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "left" lesser toe and "proximal phalanx."
• Verify that the fracture is explicitly stated as "nondisplaced" and that "nonunion" is documented as the current healing status.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
