Disp fx of body of unsp calcaneus, subs for fx w routn heal

This code signifies a fracture of the main part of the heel bone (calcaneus) that is no longer in its proper anatomical alignment. The patient is in the healing phase, and the fracture is progressing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing care for a previously diagnosed displaced calcaneal body fracture. It indicates that the fracture is healing routinely and there are no signs of delayed union, nonunion, or malunion.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "body of calcaneus" for accurate code selection.
• The 7th character "D" is crucial and indicates subsequent care for a routinely healing fracture.
• Confirm the laterality (left, right, or unspecified) is clearly documented to avoid using an unspecified code if more detail is available.
