Nondisp fx of med cuneiform of unsp ft, 7thK

This code describes a situation where a fracture of the medial cuneiform bone in an unspecific foot has not healed properly, despite previous treatment. The bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical position (nondisplaced), but the healing process has stalled, leading to a nonunion.

Use this code for a patient presenting for follow-up care of a medial cuneiform fracture where imaging or clinical assessment confirms that the fracture has failed to unite. This applies to subsequent encounters after the initial treatment, when nonunion is the primary concern.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and specifies the medial cuneiform.
• Verify the encounter is for follow-up care of the fracture, not the initial injury.
• Confirm the fracture is described as "nondisplaced" in the medical record.
