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

This code signifies a fracture of the medial cuneiform bone in the left foot that is no longer in its anatomical alignment. The patient is in the healing phase following initial treatment, and the recovery is progressing as expected without complications.

Apply this code when a patient presents for a follow-up visit for a previously diagnosed and treated displaced medial cuneiform fracture of the left foot. This includes scenarios such as cast changes, suture removal, or routine radiographic checks confirming satisfactory healing.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "left foot" for accurate coding.
• The "D" seventh character indicates subsequent care for a fracture that is healing routinely.
• Do not use this code for initial treatment or for fractures with delayed or nonunion healing.
