Wiki Fracture Vs Injury

[Yashaswini L.]

Can anyone suggest me the ICD-9 code for -
Crush fracture of the distal phalanx of the right great toe

Confused if Dx should be distal phalanx fracture or crush injury.

Regards,
Yash

Both can be coded....

And if you knew how and where the injury occurred you could code the E-Code too.
