Disp fx of medial cuneiform of right foot, init for clos fx

This code signifies a break in the medial cuneiform bone, located in the arch of the right foot, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal anatomical alignment. It specifically indicates that this is the first time the patient is being treated for this particular closed fracture, meaning the skin over the fracture site is intact.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-open fracture of the right medial cuneiform where imaging confirms displacement of the bone fragments. This is appropriate for the initial visit to a healthcare provider for evaluation and management of the injury, prior to definitive treatment.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "right foot" and "medial cuneiform" to support this specific code.
• Verify the fracture is explicitly described as "displaced" and "closed" to differentiate from non-displaced or open fractures.
• The "A" in the seventh character indicates an "initial encounter" for treatment; subsequent encounters will require different seventh characters.
