Nondisp fx of prox phalanx of unsp less toe(s), 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the proximal phalanx in any of the lesser toes (toes 2-5) that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment. The "G" seventh character indicates that the patient is in the healing phase, but the fracture is taking longer than expected to unite.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced proximal phalanx fracture of a lesser toe is experiencing delayed healing. This would typically involve ongoing pain, swelling, or radiographic evidence of incomplete bone union beyond the expected timeframe. It is used when the patient is still under active treatment for the fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" for the fracture.
• Confirm the fracture is of the proximal phalanx and not displaced.
• Verify it's a subsequent encounter for the fracture, not the initial treatment.
