Nondisplaced unsp fracture of unsp lesser toe(s), init

This code signifies a break in one or more of the smaller toes (any toe other than the great toe) where the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment. The specific lesser toe involved is not documented, and the skin over the fracture site is intact.

Apply this code for initial encounters when a patient presents with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of an unspecified lesser toe. This is appropriate when the medical record does not specify which particular lesser toe is fractured (e.g., "fracture of a lesser toe").

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and "closed fracture."
• Only use this code when the specific lesser toe (e.g., second, third, fourth, or fifth) is not identified in the medical record.
• The "A" suffix indicates an initial encounter for the fracture.
