Nondisp fx of lateral cuneiform of r ft, 7thP

This code signifies a fracture of the lateral cuneiform bone in the right foot that was initially nondisplaced but has since healed improperly, resulting in a malunion. The patient is currently receiving follow-up care or treatment for this malunited fracture.

Apply this code when a patient presents for ongoing management, evaluation, or treatment of a right lateral cuneiform fracture that has healed in an anatomically incorrect position. This includes scenarios where surgical correction of the malunion is being planned or performed, or when the patient is experiencing symptoms related to the malunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "malunion" and not "nonunion" or "delayed healing."
• Verify the fracture was initially nondisplaced and located in the lateral cuneiform of the right foot.
• Confirm the encounter is for subsequent care of the fracture, not the initial treatment.
