Nondisp fx of ant pro of l calcaneus, 7thG

This code signifies a break in the front part of the left heel bone that has not shifted out of alignment. The patient is in a later stage of recovery, and the fracture is taking longer than expected to heal.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits where a patient is being treated for a nondisplaced anterior calcaneal fracture of the left foot, and the physician notes that the healing process is delayed. This would typically be used after the initial treatment phase.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "left" calcaneus and "anterior process."
• Confirm the fracture is explicitly documented as "nondisplaced."
• Verify the encounter is for subsequent care and the physician notes "delayed healing."
