Disp fx of middle phalanx of right ring finger, init

This code signifies a break in the middle bone of the right ring finger that has resulted in the bone fragments being out of alignment. It specifically applies to the initial treatment phase of such an injury where the skin remains intact over the fracture site.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-open fracture of the middle phalanx of their right ring finger where the bone ends are displaced. This is appropriate for the initial visit for treatment, whether it involves reduction, casting, or other immediate interventions.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "middle phalanx" of the right ring finger.
• Confirm the encounter is for the initial treatment of a closed fracture.
• Verify laterality (right hand) is clearly documented.
