Nondisp fx of distal phalanx of right little finger, init

This code describes a break in the outermost bone of the right little finger that has not shifted from its normal alignment. The skin over the fracture remains intact, indicating a closed injury.

Apply this code when documenting the initial treatment for a patient presenting with a non-displaced fracture of the distal phalanx of their right fifth digit. This is appropriate for injuries such as a crush injury to the fingertip or a direct impact resulting in a stable fracture.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "distal phalanx" for the right little finger.
• Confirm this is the patient's first encounter for this specific injury.
• Verify the fracture is closed; if open, a different code is required.
