Nondisp fx of med cuneiform of unsp ft, 7thP

This code signifies a nondisplaced fracture of the medial cuneiform bone in an unspecified foot, which is currently in a subsequent phase of healing but has developed malunion. Malunion indicates that the fracture has healed in an anatomically incorrect or undesirable position, potentially leading to functional impairment or pain.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is being managed for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced medial cuneiform fracture that has healed improperly. This applies when the malunion is documented, and the encounter is for ongoing care, assessment of the malunion, or planning for corrective interventions.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "malunion" for the subsequent encounter.
• Verify the fracture is indeed of the medial cuneiform and not another tarsal bone.
• This code requires an additional code for any associated complications or treatment of the malunion.
