Nondisp 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 remain in their normal anatomical 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 is intact.

This code is appropriate for documenting the initial presentation and treatment of a patient with a confirmed, non-displaced fracture of the proximal phalanx of the right hallux. This would include scenarios such as an emergency department visit or an initial orthopedic consultation following an acute injury.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and identifies the "proximal phalanx" of the "right great toe."
• Confirm this is the "initial encounter" for the fracture and that it is a "closed fracture" (skin intact).
• Do not use this code for subsequent encounters or for open fractures; different codes apply.
