Displ oth fx tuberosity of r calcaneus, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the tuberosity of the right calcaneus that is not aligned correctly and is currently in the process of healing slower than expected. It indicates that the patient is receiving ongoing care for this specific bone injury.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits where a patient is being treated for a displaced fracture of the right calcaneal tuberosity and the physician notes that the healing process is prolonged. It should be used when the fracture has not yet fully united and requires continued medical management due to delayed healing.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "delayed healing" for the fracture.
• Verify the laterality (right) and the specific bone (calcaneus tuberosity) are documented.
• Confirm the fracture is described as "displaced" to support this specific code.
