Nondisp fx of first metatarsal bone, left foot, init

This code signifies a break in the first metatarsal bone of the left foot that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. The skin over the fracture site remains intact, and this is the initial treatment encounter for this specific injury.

This code is appropriate for documenting the initial diagnosis and treatment of a patient presenting with a newly identified, non-displaced fracture of the great toe's metatarsal bone in the left foot. It would be used following imaging confirmation (e.g., X-ray) of such an injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "left foot" for accurate code assignment.
• Verify this is the patient's first encounter for this specific fracture; subsequent encounters will require a different 7th character.
• Confirm the fracture is "closed" (skin intact) as open fractures have distinct codes.
