Nondisp fx of med cuneiform of r ft, subs for fx w nonunion

This code signifies a fracture of the medial cuneiform bone in the right foot that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment. The "subsequent encounter" indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and "nonunion" specifies that the bone is failing to heal properly after a typical healing period.

Use this code when documenting ongoing treatment for a right medial cuneiform fracture that has not united. This would apply to scenarios such as follow-up appointments for casting changes, physical therapy, or surgical planning related to the nonunion. It is appropriate for any encounter where the primary focus is managing the delayed or failed healing of this specific fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and specifies the right foot and medial cuneiform.
• Verify that the fracture was initially nondisplaced; if it was displaced, a different code would be required.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter for the same fracture would use a different 7th character.
