Disp fx of cuboid bone of l foot, subs for fx w delay heal

This code signifies a break in the cuboid bone, located on the outer side of the midfoot, where the bone fragments are not properly aligned. The patient is in a later stage of treatment, and the fracture is not healing at the expected rate.

Apply this code when documenting a follow-up visit for a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced cuboid fracture of the left foot. This is specifically for situations where the healing process has been prolonged or is progressing slower than anticipated.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "left foot" and "displaced" for the cuboid fracture.
• Confirm the encounter is for subsequent care and that delayed healing is explicitly noted by the provider.
• Do not use for initial encounters or for fractures healing normally.
