Nondisp fx of dist phalanx of r great toe, init for opn fx

This code signifies a fracture of the outermost bone of the great toe on the right foot, where the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical position. The injury is an open fracture, meaning there is a break in the skin communicating with the fracture site. This is the initial encounter for treatment of this specific injury.

This code is appropriate for documenting the initial treatment phase of a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced open fracture of the distal phalanx of the right great toe. This includes emergency department visits, initial orthopedic consultations, or hospital admissions for the primary management of the fracture.

• Verify laterality (right foot) and specific phalanx (distal) are accurately documented.
• Confirm the fracture is explicitly stated as "nondisplaced" and "open."
• Ensure this is the patient's first encounter for this specific injury; subsequent care will use different encounter codes.
