Nondisp fx of lateral cuneiform of unspecified foot, sequela

This code describes a past injury to the lateral cuneiform bone in the foot that has since healed, but the patient is still experiencing residual effects or complications directly related to that old fracture. The fracture itself was "nondisplaced," meaning the bone fragments did not separate significantly at the time of injury.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing symptoms such as pain, stiffness, deformity, or functional limitation in the foot, and the medical record clearly indicates these are a direct consequence of a previously sustained, nondisplaced lateral cuneiform fracture. This code is appropriate for follow-up visits addressing these long-term complications, not the initial acute injury.

• Ensure documentation explicitly links current symptoms to the old fracture as a sequela.
• Confirm the fracture was nondisplaced and located in the lateral cuneiform.
• This code is for an unspecified foot; if laterality is known, a more specific code should be used.
