Nondisp fx of cuboid bone of unsp ft, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the cuboid bone in either foot that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position, and the patient is presenting for follow-up care due to the fracture healing slower than expected. It indicates that the initial injury occurred previously, and the current encounter addresses the ongoing, protracted healing process.

Use this code for patients returning for an office visit, imaging, or other treatment related to a cuboid fracture that is not yet fully healed and is demonstrating delayed union. This applies after the initial treatment phase, when the provider is monitoring the fracture's progress and addressing the slower-than-anticipated recovery.

• Always confirm the fracture's displacement status (nondisplaced) and the specific bone involved (cuboid).
• Ensure the encounter is for subsequent care and specifically for delayed healing, not routine follow-up for a healing fracture or initial treatment.
• Pair this code with external cause codes (e.g., V00-Y99) if the cause of the injury is known and documented.
