Nondisp fx of lateral cuneiform of r ft, 7thD

This code describes a break in the lateral cuneiform bone, located on the outer side of the midfoot, that has not shifted out of its normal anatomical position. The patient is in a follow-up phase of care, and the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code for patients presenting for routine follow-up appointments after an initial diagnosis of a nondisplaced right lateral cuneiform fracture. This includes visits for cast changes, X-ray evaluations confirming routine healing, or physical therapy assessments during the recovery period. Do not use for initial injury encounters or if healing is complicated.

• Ensure the encounter is for follow-up care and not the initial injury.
• Verify documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and "right foot" for the lateral cuneiform fracture.
• Confirm that the healing process is described as "routine" or "uncomplicated" to justify the 7th character 'D'.
