Nondisp fx of intermed cuneiform of r ft, 7thP

This code signifies a healed, but improperly aligned, fracture of the intermediate cuneiform bone in the right foot. The initial break was "nondisplaced," meaning the bone fragments did not separate significantly. The current encounter is for follow-up care related to the malunion.

Apply this code when a patient presents for ongoing management of a previously sustained, nondisplaced intermediate cuneiform fracture of the right foot that has healed with malunion. This would include scenarios such as pain management, physical therapy, or surgical planning related to the malunion after the initial healing phase.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and specifies the intermediate cuneiform of the right foot.
• Verify the encounter is for follow-up care of the malunion, not the initial treatment of the acute fracture.
• Always sequence this code with any associated external cause codes and codes for complications or symptoms related to the malunion.
