Nondisp fx of prox phalanx of l idx fngr, init for opn fx

This code signifies a break in the upper bone of the left index finger, specifically the phalanx closest to the hand, where the bone fragments have not shifted out of alignment. The fracture is classified as open, meaning there is a wound communicating with the fracture site, and this is the patient's first time receiving treatment for this injury.

Apply this code when documenting an initial encounter for a patient presenting with an open, nondisplaced fracture of the proximal phalanx of their left index finger. This would typically be used for the acute treatment phase, including initial evaluation, reduction, and stabilization.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "left" index finger and "proximal" phalanx.
• Confirm the fracture is explicitly documented as "nondisplaced" and "open."
• Verify this is the "initial encounter" for treatment of this specific fracture.
