Nondisp fx of medial cuneiform of unsp foot, init

This code signifies a break in the medial cuneiform bone, one of the tarsal bones in the midfoot, where the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment. The injury is to an unspecified foot, and this code is used for the initial treatment of a closed fracture, meaning the skin is intact.

Apply this code when a patient presents with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the medial cuneiform, and the medical record does not specify which foot is affected. This is appropriate for the initial encounter for definitive treatment of the fracture, such as casting or splinting.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and "closed fracture" for accurate code assignment.
• If the foot (left or right) is specified, a more specific code (S92.241A-S92.242A) should be used.
• This "A" initial encounter suffix is only for the period of active treatment; subsequent encounters will require different suffixes.
