Nondisp fx of intermediate cuneiform of right foot, init

This code signifies a break in the intermediate cuneiform bone of the right foot that has not shifted out of its normal anatomical position. The fracture is contained within the skin, meaning there is no open wound communicating with the bone.

Apply this code when documenting an initial visit for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the right intermediate cuneiform. This includes scenarios where the fracture is confirmed by imaging (e.g., X-ray) and the skin remains intact over the injury site.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right foot" and "intermediate cuneiform" to support this specific code.
• Verify the fracture is explicitly described as "nondisplaced" and "closed."
• The "A" suffix indicates the initial encounter for this specific fracture, regardless of subsequent visits for the same injury.
