Displ oth fx tuberosity of l calcaneus, 7thD

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a patient who previously sustained a fracture of the tuberosity of their left heel bone, specifically one that was displaced and not a simple avulsion. At this subsequent visit, the fracture is progressing as expected with routine healing.

This code is appropriate for office visits, follow-up imaging, or physical therapy sessions where a patient is recovering from a displaced left calcaneal tuberosity fracture and the physician documents routine healing. It should be used after the initial treatment phase, during the period of fracture consolidation.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "other fracture of tuberosity" to differentiate from avulsion or non-displaced fractures.
• Confirm the encounter is for a "subsequent" visit and that "routine healing" is explicitly or implicitly documented.
• Always verify laterality (left) and the specific bone (calcaneus) and anatomical site (tuberosity).
