Nondisp fx of intermediate cuneiform of unsp foot, init

This code signifies a break in the intermediate cuneiform bone, one of the small bones in the midfoot, where the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment. The injury is closed, meaning the skin over the fracture is intact, and it represents the initial treatment for this specific injury.

Apply this code when a patient presents for the first time with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the intermediate cuneiform. This is appropriate for initial evaluation, treatment planning, and casting or splinting of the injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "intermediate cuneiform."
• Verify the encounter is the "initial encounter" for this specific fracture.
• Confirm the fracture is "closed" and not open.
