Nondisp fx of middle phalanx of right lesser toe(s), init

This code signifies a break in the middle bone of one of the smaller toes on the right foot, where the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment. It specifically applies to the initial treatment phase of a fracture that has not broken through the skin.

Use this code for patients presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the middle phalanx of the right second, third, fourth, or fifth toe. This is appropriate for the initial visit where the fracture is identified and treatment begins, and the skin over the fracture site is intact.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "closed fracture" for accurate code assignment.
• Verify the affected toe is on the right foot and is a "lesser toe" (not the great toe).
• The "A" at the end indicates an initial encounter; subsequent care would require a different seventh character.
