Nondisp fx of lateral cuneiform of l ft, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the lateral cuneiform bone in the left foot that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. It specifically indicates that the patient is in a later phase of treatment, and the fracture is healing slower than expected.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient whose left lateral cuneiform fracture is confirmed as nondisplaced and is exhibiting delayed union. This would typically be used after initial treatment and during ongoing management where healing progress is suboptimal.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and specifies the "left" foot and "lateral cuneiform."
• Verify that the encounter is for subsequent care and that "delayed healing" is explicitly noted by the provider.
• Do not use for initial encounters or if the fracture is displaced or healing normally.
