Nondisp fx of lateral cuneiform of left foot, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual condition resulting from a fracture of the lateral cuneiform bone in the left foot, where the bone fragments were not displaced at the time of the original injury. It indicates that the patient is currently experiencing a long-term effect or complication directly attributable to this past fracture.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing symptoms, functional limitations, or other sequelae (e.g., chronic pain, stiffness, arthritis) directly related to a previously sustained, nondisplaced fracture of the left lateral cuneiform. This code is appropriate for follow-up visits after the initial healing phase has concluded.

• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past nondisplaced left lateral cuneiform fracture.
• Do not use this code for the initial treatment of an acute fracture; instead, use the appropriate acute fracture code.
• Always code any associated current symptoms or complications (e.g., M77.32 for metatarsalgia, left foot) in addition to this sequela code.
