Displ oth fx tuberosity of unsp calcaneus, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the calcaneal tuberosity that is not healing as expected, requiring ongoing medical attention after the initial treatment. The fracture involves a displacement of the bone fragments, and the specific location within the tuberosity is not documented.

Apply this code for patients presenting for follow-up care of a previously diagnosed and treated displaced calcaneal tuberosity fracture where the healing process is prolonged or slower than anticipated. This would include scenarios such as continued pain, swelling, or imaging studies showing incomplete bone union at a later stage.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" for a previously treated fracture.
• Verify the fracture is specifically of the calcaneal tuberosity and is displaced.
• Do not use for initial encounters or for fractures healing normally.
