Nondisp fx of distal phalanx of right great toe, init

This code signifies a break in the outermost bone of the right great toe that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. The skin over the fracture remains intact, indicating a closed injury.

Apply this code for patients presenting with an acute, non-displaced fracture of the distal phalanx of the right hallux. This is appropriate for the initial evaluation and treatment of such a closed fracture.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "distal phalanx" of the right great toe.
• Confirm the encounter is for the initial treatment of the fracture (indicated by the "A" seventh character).
• Do not use for displaced fractures, open fractures, or fractures of other toes or phalanxes.
