Disp fx of ant pro of l calcaneus, subs for fx w routn heal

This code signifies a fracture of the anterior process of the left calcaneus (heel bone) that has shifted from its normal anatomical position. The patient is currently in a phase of routine recovery, indicating expected healing without complications.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced anterior calcaneal process fracture of the left foot. This includes office visits, cast changes, or imaging reviews during the normal healing period. It is appropriate when the fracture is progressing as anticipated.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "anterior process" of the calcaneus.
• Confirm the encounter is for subsequent care and not the initial treatment.
• Verify the left side is clearly indicated in the medical record.
