Nondisp fx of intermediate cuneiform of right foot, sequela

This code signifies a healed or chronic fracture of the intermediate cuneiform bone in the right foot that was initially nondisplaced. The "sequela" aspect indicates that the patient is still receiving care or experiencing residual effects related to this past injury, rather than an acute event. It points to the long-term management or follow-up of a resolved fracture.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient who previously sustained a nondisplaced fracture of the right intermediate cuneiform and is now presenting with ongoing symptoms, complications, or for continued monitoring related to that old injury. This applies to scenarios where the fracture itself is no longer acute but its effects persist.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the fracture is no longer acute and identifies the specific bone (intermediate cuneiform) and side (right foot).
• Always use a seventh character 'S' for sequela when the patient is being treated for complications or residual effects of a past injury.
• Pair this code with an external cause code (V, W, X, Y category) if the original cause of the injury is relevant to the current encounter.
