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

This code signifies a non-displaced break in the bone segment closest to the foot in an unspecified lesser toe, where the fracture has healed in an imperfect alignment. This specific code is used when the patient is receiving follow-up care for this malunion.

Apply this code for patients presenting for treatment of a previously diagnosed, non-displaced proximal phalanx fracture of an unspecified lesser toe that has healed with a noticeable deformity or angulation. This would include scenarios such as physical therapy for gait issues related to the malunion, or surgical consultation for corrective osteotomy.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "malunion" and "subsequent encounter" for the fracture.
• Verify the fracture is non-displaced and located in the proximal phalanx of a lesser toe.
• If the specific toe is known, a more precise code from the S92.51- series should be used.
