Disp fx of proximal phalanx of right middle finger, init

This code signifies a broken bone in the upper part of the middle finger on the right hand, specifically the phalanx closest to the palm. The fracture fragments are not properly aligned, indicating a displacement.

Apply this code for the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, displaced fracture of the proximal phalanx of their right middle finger. This includes emergency department visits, initial orthopedic consultations, or the first surgical intervention for the injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "proximal phalanx" of the right middle finger.
• This "A" initial encounter suffix is only used for the active treatment phase of the fracture.
• Confirm the fracture is closed; if open, a different code and suffix would be appropriate.
