Displ oth fx tuberosity of r calcaneus, 7thD

This code signifies a fracture of the right calcaneal tuberosity that is not in its anatomical position, meaning the bone fragments are separated or misaligned. The patient is in the healing phase of this fracture, and the recovery is progressing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing care for a previously diagnosed and treated displaced fracture of the right calcaneal tuberosity. It should be used when the fracture is showing routine healing, such as during cast changes, physical therapy evaluations, or routine radiographic follow-ups.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "right calcaneus tuberosity" for accurate coding.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for a fracture with routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or delayed/nonunion healing.
• Always verify laterality (right) and the specific bone (calcaneus) and anatomical site (tuberosity) from the physician's notes.
