Nondisp fx of first metatarsal bone, right foot, init

This code signifies a break in the first metatarsal bone of the right foot that has not shifted out of its normal anatomical position. It indicates that the fracture is being treated for the first time and the skin overlying the fracture is intact.

Apply this code for patients presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the great toe's metatarsal bone on the right foot. This is appropriate for the initial evaluation and management of such an injury where there is no open wound communicating with the fracture site.

• Confirm laterality (right foot) and the specific bone (first metatarsal) are documented.
• Ensure "nondisplaced" and "closed fracture" are clearly stated in the medical record.
• The "A" seventh character indicates the initial encounter for treatment of the fracture.
