Nondisp fx of medial cuneiform of right foot, sequela

This code signifies a healed or healing fracture of the medial cuneiform bone in the right foot that did not involve displacement of the bone fragments. The "sequela" designation indicates that the patient is still receiving care or experiencing symptoms related to the past fracture, even if the acute injury has resolved. This could include ongoing pain, stiffness, or functional limitations.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient who previously sustained a nondisplaced fracture of the right medial cuneiform and is still experiencing residual effects or undergoing rehabilitation. This is appropriate for encounters where the focus is on managing the long-term consequences of the fracture, rather than the initial acute injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly supports the "sequela" aspect, such as ongoing symptoms or treatment related to the old fracture.
• Do not use this code for acute fractures; a different code would apply for the initial injury.
• Verify laterality (right foot) and the specific bone (medial cuneiform) are accurately documented.
