Disp fx of intermediate cuneiform of right foot, init

This code signifies a break in the intermediate cuneiform bone, located in the middle of the right foot, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal alignment. This specific diagnosis indicates that the fracture is being addressed for the first time.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, displaced fracture of the right intermediate cuneiform. This is appropriate for the initial evaluation and treatment of the injury, such as in an emergency department or initial orthopedic consultation.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "displaced" and specifies the "right" foot.
• Verify that this is the patient's first encounter for this specific fracture, not a follow-up.
• Confirm the fracture is "closed" (skin intact) as indicated by the "A" in the seventh character.
