Nondisp fx of navicular of r foot, subs for fx w malunion

This code signifies a non-displaced fracture of the navicular bone in the right foot that is currently undergoing treatment for malunion. Malunion indicates that the fracture has healed, but in an unsatisfactory position, potentially leading to pain or functional impairment.

Apply this code when a patient presents for follow-up care, evaluation, or treatment related to a previously sustained, non-displaced right foot navicular fracture that has healed incorrectly. This includes scenarios where the malunion is being assessed, monitored, or managed conservatively or surgically.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and specifies the right foot navicular bone.
• Verify the fracture was initially non-displaced to align with this specific code.
• Do not use for initial encounters or for fractures healing normally.
