Nondisplaced unsp fracture of left great toe, init

This code signifies a break in the bone of the left great toe (hallux) that has not shifted out of its normal alignment. The specific bone involved is not detailed, and the skin over the fracture remains intact.

Apply this code when documenting the initial treatment for a patient presenting with a closed, non-displaced fracture of their left great toe. This is appropriate for the first encounter where the injury is diagnosed and treatment initiated.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left" great toe and "nondisplaced" for accurate code assignment.
• Confirm the fracture is "closed" (skin intact) and this is the "initial encounter" for treatment.
• If the specific phalanx (proximal or distal) of the great toe is known, a more specific code should be used.
