Other physeal fracture of phalanx of right toe, 7thP

This code signifies a fracture of the growth plate (physis) in a phalanx of the right toe that is currently undergoing treatment for a malunion. A malunion indicates that the bone has healed, but in an incorrect or deformed position. This particular encounter is for ongoing management of this improperly healed fracture.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting for follow-up care, evaluation, or treatment of a right toe phalanx physeal fracture that has healed with a deformity. This applies to situations where the malunion itself is the focus of the current encounter, such as planning for corrective surgery or assessing functional limitations.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and specifies the right toe phalanx.
• Verify this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
• Confirm the fracture involved the physis (growth plate).
