Nondisp fx of cuboid bone of unsp foot, init for opn fx

This code signifies a break in the cuboid bone, located on the outer side of the midfoot, where the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment. The fracture is open, meaning there is a wound that communicates with the fracture site, and this code is used for the initial treatment of the injury. The specific foot (left or right) is not documented.

Apply this code when a patient presents with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced open fracture of the cuboid bone, and the medical record does not specify which foot is affected. This is appropriate for the initial surgical repair or other definitive treatment of the open fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and "open fracture" of the cuboid.
• Only use this code for the initial encounter for treatment of the fracture.
• If the foot (left or right) is specified, a more specific code should be selected.
