Nondisp fx of cuboid bone of r ft, subs for fx w delay heal

This code signifies a fracture of the cuboid bone in the right foot that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. The patient is in a phase of treatment where the fracture is not healing at the expected rate, indicating delayed union.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a right cuboid fracture that was initially nondisplaced, and the physician notes that the healing process is prolonged. This is appropriate for subsequent visits after the initial treatment, where delayed healing is the primary concern.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and identifies the "right foot" and "cuboid bone."
• The "G" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for a fracture with delayed healing; do not use for initial treatment or routine healing.
• Confirm the physician's assessment of delayed healing is clearly documented in the medical record.
