Unsp fracture of right toe(s), subs for fx w nonunion

This code indicates a fracture of an unspecified toe or toes on the right foot that has failed to heal properly after an initial treatment. The patient is currently receiving care for this persistent nonunion.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient is being treated for a right toe fracture that has not united, and the specific toe involved (e.g., great toe, lesser toe) is not documented. This includes situations where further interventions, such as bone grafting or revision surgery, are being considered or performed due to the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and specifies the right foot.
• Only use this code for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter would use a different seventh character.
• If the specific toe is identified (e.g., right great toe), a more specific code should be selected.
