Displaced unsp fracture of left lesser toe(s), init

This code signifies a break in one of the lesser toes of the left foot where the bone fragments are not properly aligned. The specific toe involved is not documented, and the injury is being addressed for the first time.

Apply this code for initial treatment of a left lesser toe fracture that is documented as displaced but without further specification of the exact toe. This is appropriate for closed fractures, meaning the skin remains intact over the injury site.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left" and "displaced" for a lesser toe fracture.
• Only use for the initial encounter of a closed fracture.
• If the specific lesser toe (e.g., second, third, fourth, or fifth) is identified, a more specific code should be used.
