Other physeal fracture of phalanx of right toe, init

This code signifies a fracture affecting the growth plate (physis) of a phalanx in the right foot, excluding those specifically classified as Salter-Harris types I-IV. It indicates that the skin over the fracture site remains intact (closed fracture) and that this is the first time the patient is receiving active treatment for this specific injury.

Use this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-Salter-Harris type physeal fracture of any phalanx in the right foot. This applies when the fracture is closed and the patient is in the initial phase of treatment, such as casting or splinting.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right toe" and "phalanx" to support code assignment.
• Confirm the fracture is closed and not a specific Salter-Harris type I-IV.
• The "A" suffix indicates an initial encounter for active treatment.
