Nondisp fx of intermed cuneiform of unsp ft, 7thP

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a fracture of the intermediate cuneiform bone in an unspecified foot that was initially nondisplaced but has since healed improperly, resulting in malunion. The malunion indicates that the bone fragments have united in an anatomically incorrect position, potentially leading to functional impairment or pain.

This code is appropriate for subsequent visits where a patient is being managed for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced intermediate cuneiform fracture that has developed malunion. This could include evaluations for ongoing symptoms, assessment of functional limitations, or planning for corrective interventions related to the malunion. It is not for the initial treatment of the fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and specifies the intermediate cuneiform bone.
• Verify that the encounter is for follow-up care of the malunion, not the initial fracture treatment.
• If the laterality (left or right foot) is documented, a more specific code should be selected.
