Displ avuls fx tuberosity of r calcaneus, 7thG

This code signifies a specific type of fracture in the right heel bone (calcaneus) where a small piece of bone has been pulled away from the main bone by a tendon or ligament, and it is no longer in its correct anatomical position. The "subsequent encounter" indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and "delayed healing" means the bone is not mending at the expected rate.

This code is appropriate for documenting ongoing treatment of a right calcaneal avulsion fracture that was initially displaced, and the healing process is taking longer than anticipated. It would be used for office visits, physical therapy sessions, or other follow-up appointments where the delayed healing of this specific fracture is being addressed.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "right" calcaneus and "avulsion" fracture, along with "displaced."
• Verify that the encounter is for follow-up care and that delayed healing is explicitly noted by the provider.
• Do not use for initial treatment or for fractures that are healing normally.
