Nondisp fx of body of r calcaneus, subs for fx w routn heal

This code describes a fracture of the main part of the right heel bone that is still in its normal anatomical position. The patient is in the healing phase, and the recovery is progressing as expected without complications.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a right calcaneal body fracture that was initially nondisplaced and is now routinely healing. This would include subsequent office visits, imaging reviews, or physical therapy sessions focused on the ongoing recovery of this specific fracture.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "right calcaneus body" for accurate code assignment.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or delayed/nonunion healing.
• Confirm the fracture is indeed healing routinely; if complications arise, a different seventh character would be necessary.
