Nondisplaced oth fracture of tuberosity of r calcaneus, init

This code signifies a break in the tuberosity of the right heel bone (calcaneus) where the bone fragments have not shifted out of alignment. It specifically indicates that this is the first time the fracture is being treated and the skin over the fracture site is intact.

Use this code for patients presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the right calcaneal tuberosity, such as from a fall or direct impact. This applies when the initial treatment plan is being established for a closed fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and specifies the "right" calcaneus.
• Verify the encounter is indeed the "initial encounter" for this specific fracture.
• Confirm the fracture is "closed" (no open wound communicating with the fracture site).
