Disp fx of cuboid bone of right foot, subs for fx w malunion

This code signifies a fracture of the cuboid bone in the right foot that has healed incorrectly, resulting in a malunion. The fracture was initially displaced, meaning the bone fragments were not in their normal alignment. This code is used for follow-up care after the initial treatment of the fracture.

Apply this code when a patient presents for ongoing management of a previously treated displaced right cuboid fracture that has healed in an unsatisfactory position. This includes scenarios where the malunion is causing pain, functional impairment, or requires further intervention such as corrective surgery. It is appropriate for any encounter after the initial treatment phase where the malunion is the focus.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "right foot" and specifies the "cuboid bone."
• Verify the encounter is for a "subsequent" phase of care, not the initial treatment.
• Confirm the fracture has healed with "malunion" and was originally "displaced."
