Proper Coding for Fracture-Left Foot 5th Metatarsal-Unna Boot & Coban Applied

My patient has a fracture left foot 5th metatarsal(Dx:S92.902S). I applied unna boot and coban. How is this coded?

The claim would be coded with CPT 29580, appended with the LT modifier, with the primary diagnosis code S92.902S. Coban does not have a CPT or HCPCS code assigned and would be considered inclusive to the application of the unna boot.
