Nondisp fx of distal phalanx of right middle finger, init

This code signifies a break in the outermost bone of the right middle finger that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. The skin overlying the fracture remains intact, indicating a closed injury.

Apply this code for initial treatment of a patient presenting with a non-displaced fracture of the distal phalanx of the right middle finger, confirmed by imaging. This is appropriate for the first encounter where the fracture is being evaluated and a treatment plan is initiated.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "distal phalanx" of the right middle finger.
• Confirm the encounter is the "initial encounter" for this specific fracture.
• Verify the fracture is "closed" (no open wound communicating with the fracture site).
