Nondisp fx of lateral cuneiform of l ft, 7thD

This code describes a fracture of the outer cuneiform bone in the left foot that has not shifted out of alignment and is currently in the process of healing normally. It indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for this specific injury after the initial treatment.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits where a patient is being monitored for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced lateral cuneiform fracture of the left foot. It applies when the fracture is progressing as expected towards full recovery, without complications or delayed healing.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "lateral cuneiform" of the left foot.
• The "D" seventh character signifies a subsequent encounter for routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or complicated healing.
• Confirm the encounter is for ongoing management of the fracture, not for new symptoms or unrelated conditions.
