Nondisp fx of body of unsp calcaneus, init for clos fx

This code signifies a break in the main part of the heel bone (calcaneus) that has not shifted out of its normal anatomical position. It indicates that the patient is receiving initial treatment for this injury, which is a closed fracture (skin intact).

Apply this code when documentation confirms a non-displaced fracture of the calcaneal body, such as from a fall or direct trauma to the heel. This is appropriate for the initial encounter for treatment of the fracture, prior to any definitive care or follow-up.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "body of calcaneus."
• Confirm this is the patient's first encounter for this specific fracture.
• Do not use if the fracture is displaced, involves other parts of the calcaneus, or is an open fracture.
