How CDC's index refers to this code

Wording from the official alphabetic index. Much of it appears nowhere in the code description, which is why a search for the everyday phrase so often finds nothing.

Fracture, traumatic > toe > lesser > distal phalanx
Fracture, traumatic > toe > lesser > distal phalanx > nondisplaced
