Disp fx of medial cuneiform of left foot, init for clos fx

This code signifies a break in the medial cuneiform bone, located on the inner side of the midfoot, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal alignment. The fracture is closed, meaning the skin remains intact over the injury site. This diagnosis indicates the patient is receiving initial treatment for this specific injury.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, displaced fracture of the medial cuneiform in the left foot, where the skin is not broken. This would be used for the initial evaluation and management of the fracture, including casting, splinting, or surgical intervention.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "left foot" for accurate code selection.
• Confirm the encounter is the initial treatment for this specific fracture, not a follow-up.
• Verify the fracture is closed; open fractures require different coding.
