Disp fx of intermed cuneiform of r ft, 7thK

This code signifies a fracture of the intermediate cuneiform bone in the right foot that has not healed properly and is still displaced. The patient is in a phase of treatment following the initial injury, where the fracture has failed to unite.

This code is appropriate for documenting ongoing care for a right intermediate cuneiform fracture where nonunion has been diagnosed. It should be used for subsequent visits, such as follow-up appointments, cast changes, or surgical interventions aimed at addressing the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and "displaced" for the right intermediate cuneiform.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; do not use it for the initial treatment of the fracture.
• Verify laterality (right foot) and the specific bone (intermediate cuneiform) are accurately documented.
