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

This code signifies a break in the medial cuneiform bone, located in the midfoot, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal alignment. The specific foot (left or right) is not documented. This is the initial visit for treatment of this particular injury, and the skin over the fracture site remains intact.

This code is appropriate for the first encounter with a healthcare provider for a patient presenting with a displaced fracture of the medial cuneiform, where the medical record does not specify which foot is affected. It is used when the fracture is closed, meaning there is no open wound communicating with the fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "displaced" and "closed" for this specific bone.
• Only use this code for the initial treatment encounter for the fracture. Subsequent care will require a different seventh character.
• If the foot (left or right) is specified in the documentation, a more specific code should be chosen.
