Nondisp 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, specifically in the right foot. The fracture is described as "nondisplaced," meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment. This code is used for the initial treatment phase of a closed fracture, where the skin remains intact.

This code is appropriate for documenting the initial diagnosis and treatment of a patient presenting with a nondisplaced cuboid fracture of the right foot. This would include scenarios such as an emergency department visit or the first orthopedic consultation following the injury. It is used when the fracture has not broken through the skin.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "right foot" for accurate code assignment.
• Confirm the encounter is the initial treatment for a closed fracture; subsequent encounters will require different seventh characters.
• Verify that there is no open wound associated with the fracture to use this closed fracture code.
