Disp fx of med cuneiform of r foot, subs for fx w routn heal

This code signifies a fracture of the medial cuneiform bone in the right foot that has shifted out of its normal alignment. It indicates that the patient is in a follow-up phase of treatment, and the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code when a patient presents for a follow-up visit after initial treatment for a displaced right medial cuneiform fracture, and the physician documents routine healing. This would include scenarios such as cast changes, physical therapy evaluations, or repeat imaging showing expected bone consolidation.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "medial cuneiform" of the "right foot."
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or delayed/nonunion healing.
• Confirm the encounter type aligns with routine follow-up care for a healing fracture.
