Pnctr w fb of right great toe w/o damage to nail, init

This code signifies a penetrating injury to the right great toe caused by a foreign object, such as a splinter, glass, or metal fragment, that remains embedded in the tissue. The injury does not involve damage to the toenail itself.

Apply this code when documenting the initial treatment for a patient presenting with a foreign body embedded in their right great toe, and the nail plate is intact. This is appropriate for cases like stepping on a nail or a piece of glass that penetrates the skin and remains.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies the presence of a foreign body and the affected digit.
• Verify that the injury is to the right great toe and that the nail is undamaged.
• Append subsequent encounter (D) or sequela (S) characters for follow-up care as appropriate.
