Disp fx of intermed cuneiform of r ft, 7thP

This code signifies a previously treated fracture of the intermediate cuneiform bone in the right foot that has healed improperly, resulting in a malunion. The fracture was initially displaced, meaning the bone fragments were not in their normal alignment.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient whose right intermediate cuneiform fracture has healed in an unsatisfactory position. This applies to situations where the malunion is being addressed, monitored, or is causing ongoing symptoms. It is appropriate for subsequent encounters after the initial treatment of the fracture.

• Always confirm the laterality (right foot) and the specific bone (intermediate cuneiform).
• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and that it's a "subsequent encounter" for the fracture.
• Distinguish from nonunion (failure to heal) or routine follow-up for a properly healed fracture.
