Apply this code for the initial treatment of a newly diagnosed, displaced, and unspecified fracture of the left great toe. This includes situations like emergency department visits or initial orthopedic consultations following the injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "unspecified" for the great toe fracture.
• Confirm the encounter is the "initial encounter" for this specific injury.
• Verify the fracture is "closed" (skin intact) as opposed to open.
