Nondisp fx of intermed cuneiform of unsp ft, 7thD

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a break in the intermediate cuneiform bone, located in the midfoot, where the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical position. The fracture is healing as expected without complications. This diagnosis indicates the patient is in the routine recovery phase after the initial injury.

Apply this code for subsequent visits when a patient is being monitored for a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced intermediate cuneiform fracture of an unknown foot. This is appropriate when the fracture is progressing well towards healing and no complications or delayed healing are noted. Use this for routine check-ups during the recovery period.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "routine healing" for the intermediate cuneiform.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
• Verify the laterality (left or right foot) is not specified in the medical record; if it is, a more specific code should be used.
