Unspecified physeal fracture of phalanx of right toe, 7thK

This code describes a fracture involving the growth plate (physis) of an unspecified phalanx in the right foot, which has failed to heal properly. The "subsequent encounter" indicates the patient is receiving ongoing care for this nonunion.

Use this code for follow-up visits where a patient is being managed for a previously diagnosed physeal fracture of a right toe phalanx that has not united. This includes scenarios such as cast changes, physical therapy, or surgical planning for nonunion repair.

• Requires a seventh character "K" for subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion.
• Ensure documentation specifies the right foot and a physeal fracture of a phalanx.
• Do not use for initial encounters or for fractures that are healing normally.
