Disp fx of intermed cuneiform of l ft, 7thG

This code signifies a break in the intermediate cuneiform bone of the left foot, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal anatomical alignment. The patient is in a phase of treatment following the initial injury, and the fracture is not healing at the expected rate.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient is being managed for a displaced left intermediate cuneiform fracture that has been identified as experiencing delayed healing. This includes situations where the patient presents for cast changes, follow-up imaging, or evaluation of healing progress, and the delay in healing is a primary concern.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "displaced" and "left foot" for the intermediate cuneiform fracture.
• The "G" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for a fracture with delayed healing; do not use for initial care or routine healing.
• Confirm the physician's assessment explicitly states delayed healing to support the use of this specific seventh character.
