Nondisp 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 shifted from its normal anatomical position. It specifically indicates that the patient is receiving ongoing care for this fracture, which has failed to heal properly and unite.

Apply this code when a patient presents for follow-up treatment of a previously diagnosed nondisplaced right intermediate cuneiform fracture that has developed a nonunion. This includes scenarios such as continued immobilization, surgical intervention for nonunion, or other management strategies aimed at promoting healing of the ununited fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "nonunion" for the right intermediate cuneiform.
• Verify this is a "subsequent encounter" for the fracture, not the initial treatment.
• Always code with an external cause code if the cause of the fracture is known and documented.
