Disp fx of lateral cuneiform of l ft, 7thD

This code signifies a fracture of the lateral cuneiform bone in the left foot that is no longer in its anatomical alignment. The patient is in a later phase of treatment where the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code for follow-up visits where a patient is being monitored for a previously diagnosed displaced lateral cuneiform fracture of the left foot, and the physician documents routine healing. This would include scenarios like cast changes, physical therapy evaluations, or routine radiographic checks during the healing process.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "left foot" for accurate coding.
• The "D" seventh character indicates subsequent encounter for routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or delayed/nonunion healing.
• Confirm the specific cuneiform bone (lateral, intermediate, or medial) is documented to avoid miscoding.
