Disp fx of proximal phalanx of right great toe, init

This code signifies a break in the bone closest to the foot in the right great toe, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal alignment. It indicates that this is the first time the patient is being treated for this specific injury, and the skin over the fracture site remains intact.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-aligned fracture of the proximal phalanx of the right hallux. This is appropriate for initial treatment encounters such as emergency room visits, urgent care, or the first orthopedic consultation for this specific injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "proximal phalanx" of the right great toe.
• Confirm the encounter is for initial treatment and the fracture is closed (skin intact).
• Do not use for subsequent encounters or open fractures.
