International Classification of Diseases
What is a ICD-10 Code?
ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision) codes are used to classify and code all diagnoses, symptoms, and procedures recorded in association with hospital care. These codes provide a standardized way to track health conditions and their treatment outcomes.
Detailed Description
This code represents a break in the bone of the left big toe where the broken pieces remain properly aligned (non-displaced). The fracture location is unspecified, meaning it could be in any part of the big toe bone. This is coded as an initial encounter, which means this is the first time you're receiving treatment for this specific injury.
Additional Information
