Displaced fracture of middle phalanx of r mid finger, init

This code signifies a broken bone in the middle segment of the right middle finger, where the bone fragments are no longer properly aligned. It specifically applies to a closed fracture, meaning the skin over the fracture site remains intact.

Apply this code when documenting the initial treatment for a patient presenting with a displaced fracture of the middle phalanx of their right middle finger. This includes scenarios such as a crush injury, direct impact, or hyperextension leading to a break in this specific bone.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "displaced" and "closed fracture" for the middle phalanx of the right middle finger.
• The "A" at the end indicates an initial encounter for treatment; use subsequent encounter codes for follow-up care.
• Verify laterality (right finger) and the specific phalanx (middle) are accurately documented to support this code.
