Displaced unsp fracture of right great toe, init for opn fx

This code signifies a break in the bone of the right great toe (hallux) where the bone fragments are not properly aligned. The fracture is open, meaning there is a wound communicating with the fracture site, and this is the first time the patient is receiving treatment for this injury.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with an acute, open, displaced fracture of the right great toe. This is appropriate when the medical record clearly indicates the fracture is displaced, open, and the patient is in the initial phase of treatment.

• Confirm laterality (right) and the specific toe (great toe/hallux).
• Verify documentation explicitly states "displaced" and "open fracture."
• Ensure this is the initial encounter for treatment of this specific fracture.
