Nondisplaced unsp fracture of right great toe, init

This code signifies a break in the bone of the large toe on the right foot that has not shifted out of alignment. The specific bone involved in the great toe fracture is not further detailed. This diagnosis is for the initial treatment phase of the injury.

Apply this code when a patient presents with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the right great toe, and the medical record does not specify which phalanx (proximal or distal) is affected. This is appropriate for the initial visit where the fracture is first evaluated and treatment begins, and the skin over the fracture is intact.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and "unspecified" regarding the great toe fracture.
• Verify that the encounter is indeed the first for this specific injury to justify the "A" (initial encounter) seventh character.
• Confirm the fracture is closed (skin intact) as indicated by the "closed fracture" in the description.
