Nondisp fx of distal phalanx of right thumb, init for opn fx

This code signifies a break in the outermost bone of the right thumb, where the bone fragments remain in their normal alignment. The fracture is open, meaning there is a wound communicating with the fracture site, and this is the first time the patient is receiving treatment for this specific injury.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the distal phalanx of the right thumb that involves an open wound. This is appropriate for the initial surgical or medical management of the injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "right thumb" and "distal phalanx."
• Verify the fracture is explicitly documented as "nondisplaced" and "open."
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for treatment of this specific fracture.
