Nondisp fx of cuboid bone of l foot, subs for fx w malunion

This code describes a situation where a patient has a fracture of the cuboid bone in their left foot that was initially nondisplaced, but has since healed incorrectly, resulting in malunion. The patient is currently receiving follow-up care for this specific complication of the fracture.

Use this code when documenting a patient's visit for ongoing management or treatment of a malunited cuboid fracture in the left foot, where the original fracture was nondisplaced. This applies to encounters where the focus is on addressing the consequences of the malunion, such as pain, deformity, or functional impairment.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" as the complication of the fracture.
• Verify the laterality (left foot) and the initial displacement status (nondisplaced) are accurately reflected.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; do not use for the initial treatment of the fracture.
