Nondisp fx of med cuneiform of unsp ft, 7thG

This code describes a fracture of the medial cuneiform bone in an unspecified foot that is not displaced. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is exhibiting delayed healing, meaning the bone is not mending at the expected rate.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced medial cuneiform fracture of an unspecified foot is being evaluated for slow or insufficient healing. This would include scenarios where imaging shows persistent fracture lines beyond the typical healing timeframe, or clinical signs indicate a lack of progression towards union.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "delayed healing" for the medial cuneiform.
• Confirm the encounter is for follow-up care, not initial treatment.
• If the foot is specified (left or right), a more specific code should be selected.
