Nondisp fx of distal phalanx of left great toe, init

This code signifies a break in the furthest bone of the left great toe that has not shifted out of its normal alignment. It indicates that the skin over the fracture site remains intact, without an open wound communicating with the bone.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the distal phalanx of their left hallux. This is appropriate for the initial visit where the fracture is identified and treatment is initiated.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "distal phalanx" of the left great toe.
• Confirm the encounter is the initial visit for this specific injury.
• Verify the fracture is "closed" (no open wound).
