Nondisp oth fx tuberosity of r calcaneus, 7thD

This code describes a follow-up visit for a patient who sustained a fracture of the tuberosity of their right calcaneus (heel bone) that was not displaced. At this encounter, the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced right calcaneal tuberosity fracture is undergoing routine follow-up care. This includes appointments for cast changes, imaging to monitor healing, or clinical assessment during the normal healing period.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "right" calcaneus.
• The 7th character "D" indicates subsequent encounter with routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or delayed/nonunion healing.
• Confirm the specific bone involved is the calcaneus, and the fracture site is the tuberosity.
