Nondisp fx of medial cuneiform of left foot, init

This code signifies a break in the medial cuneiform bone, located on the inner side of the midfoot, where the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment. The injury affects the left foot and represents the initial treatment for a fracture that has not broken through the skin.

This code is appropriate for documenting the initial encounter for a patient presenting with a closed, non-displaced fracture of the medial cuneiform in the left foot. This would include situations like an acute injury from a fall or direct trauma where imaging confirms the specific fracture type and location.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "closed" to accurately assign this code.
• Verify the laterality (left foot) is clearly documented.
• Confirm this is the patient's initial encounter for this specific fracture; subsequent care would require a different seventh character.
