Disp fx of cuboid bone of right foot, init for clos fx

This code signifies a break in the cuboid bone, located on the outer side of the midfoot, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal anatomical alignment. The fracture occurred in the right foot and is being addressed for the first time, with the skin over the fracture remaining intact.

Apply this code when documenting the initial treatment for a patient presenting with a displaced cuboid fracture of the right foot, confirmed by imaging. This includes scenarios such as emergency department visits or initial orthopedic consultations following the injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "right foot" for accurate code assignment.
• Confirm the fracture is "closed" (skin intact) and this is the "initial encounter" for treatment.
• Do not use this code for non-displaced fractures, open fractures, or subsequent encounters for the same injury.
