Unspecified sprain of right lesser toe(s), initial encounter

This code signifies a sprain of one or more of the right lesser toes (digits 2-5) where the specific ligament or joint involved is not documented. It indicates the patient is receiving initial active treatment for this injury.

Apply this code when a patient presents with a sprain of the right second, third, fourth, or fifth toe, and the medical record does not specify which particular toe or joint is affected. This is appropriate for the initial visit for treatment of the sprain.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states "right" and "lesser toe(s)" without further specificity of the exact toe or ligament.
• Confirm this is the patient's first encounter for this specific injury.
• If a specific lesser toe (e.g., right second toe) or ligament is documented, a more specific code should be used.
