Nondisp avuls fx tuberosity of r calcaneus, 7thK

This code signifies a fracture where a small piece of bone has been pulled away from the tuberosity of the right calcaneus (heel bone) by a tendon or ligament, but the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment. Crucially, this particular encounter is for ongoing management of this fracture because it has failed to heal properly.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits, cast changes, or other treatments for a patient whose nondisplaced right calcaneal tuberosity avulsion fracture has not united as expected. It would be used when the physician is actively managing the nonunion, such as considering further intervention or monitoring its progress.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and specifies the right calcaneus tuberosity.
• Verify the fracture is explicitly described as "nondisplaced" and an "avulsion" type.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the fracture, not the initial treatment.
