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

This code signifies a left cuboid bone fracture that has healed improperly, resulting in an anatomical deformity. The fracture was initially displaced, meaning the bone fragments were not in their normal alignment. This specific code indicates that the patient is presenting for care related to the complications of this malunion, rather than the initial injury or routine healing.

Use this code when documenting a patient visit for ongoing management or treatment of a malunited, previously displaced fracture of the left cuboid bone. This applies to scenarios such as evaluating persistent pain, functional limitations, or planning corrective surgery due to the improper healing. It is appropriate for follow-up appointments after the initial fracture care has concluded, where the focus is on the malunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "left foot" and "cuboid bone."
• Verify that the encounter is for a "subsequent encounter" and specifically addresses "malunion."
• Distinguish from nonunion (no healing) or routine follow-up for a healing fracture without malunion.
