Disp fx of intermediate cuneiform of unsp foot, sequela

This code signifies a previously sustained fracture of the intermediate cuneiform bone in the foot that was displaced and is now presenting with a long-term complication or residual effect. This could include ongoing pain, stiffness, deformity, or functional limitation directly attributable to the healed or healing fracture.

Utilize this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with persistent issues stemming from a displaced intermediate cuneiform fracture after the initial healing phase. This applies to situations where the fracture itself is no longer acute, but its sequelae are being managed, such as for chronic pain management, physical therapy for residual stiffness, or evaluation for corrective surgery.

• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the prior displaced intermediate cuneiform fracture.
• Always code the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, malunion, nonunion) in addition to this sequela code.
• Verify laterality (left, right, unspecified) if known; this code specifies "unspecified foot."
