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

This code signifies a fracture of the medial cuneiform bone in the right foot that has been displaced from its normal anatomical position. The patient is currently in a phase of treatment where the fracture is not healing at the expected rate, indicating delayed union.

Apply this code for patients presenting for follow-up care of a previously diagnosed displaced right medial cuneiform fracture, where imaging or clinical assessment confirms that the healing process is slower than anticipated. This would include scenarios such as cast changes, physical therapy, or medication adjustments specifically addressing the delayed healing.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "displaced" and "medial cuneiform" for the right foot.
• The "G" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for a fracture with delayed healing; do not use for initial treatment or routine follow-up of a healing fracture.
• Always review the medical record for explicit mention of delayed healing to justify this seventh character.
