Nondisp unsp fx right lesser toe(s), init for opn fx

This code signifies a fracture of an unspecified lesser toe on the right foot that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. The fracture is classified as an open fracture, meaning there is a break in the skin communicating with the fracture site. This particular code is used for the initial treatment of the injury.

Apply this code when a patient presents for the first time with an open, nondisplaced fracture of any of the right lesser toes (i.e., toes 2 through 5). This would include scenarios such as a crush injury or a direct impact causing a visible wound over the fractured toe.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "open fracture" and "nondisplaced" for accurate code assignment.
• Verify the encounter is the initial treatment for this specific injury; subsequent care would require a different encounter character.
• If the specific lesser toe (e.g., second, third, fourth, or fifth) is documented, a more specific code should be used.
