Nondisp fx of middle phalanx of right middle finger, init

This code signifies a break in the middle bone of the right middle finger that has not shifted out of alignment. The skin over the fracture remains intact, indicating a closed injury. This diagnosis is used for the initial treatment phase of such an injury.

Apply this code when a patient presents for the first time with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the middle phalanx of their right middle finger. This is appropriate for initial evaluation, casting, splinting, or other non-surgical management of the acute injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "middle phalanx" of the "right middle finger."
• Confirm the encounter is the "initial" one for this specific fracture and that it is a "closed" injury.
• Do not use for subsequent encounters or for open fractures; different codes apply.
