Disp fx of proximal phalanx of left great toe, init

This code signifies a fracture in the proximal phalanx of the left great toe where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal anatomical alignment. It specifically applies to the initial treatment phase of a closed fracture, meaning the skin remains intact over the fracture site.

Use this code for patients presenting with a newly diagnosed, displaced fracture of the proximal phalanx of their left great toe. This is appropriate for the initial evaluation and management, including reduction (if performed) and casting/splinting, when the skin is not broken.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "closed" for accurate code assignment.
• Verify laterality (left) and the specific phalanx (proximal) of the great toe.
• Append subsequent encounter codes (e.g., S92.412D, S92.412G, S92.412K, S92.412P, S92.412S) for follow-up care after the initial encounter.
