Nondisp oth fx tuberosity of r calcaneus, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the tuberosity of the right calcaneus that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment. The "G" suffix indicates that the patient is in a subsequent phase of care for this fracture, and the healing process is taking longer than expected.

This code is appropriate for documentation of follow-up visits where a patient is being monitored for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced right calcaneal tuberosity fracture, and the physician notes that the fracture is not healing at the anticipated rate. This includes scenarios where conservative management is ongoing, or surgical intervention for delayed union is being considered.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "right calcaneus tuberosity" to support this specific code.
• The "G" suffix requires explicit physician documentation of delayed healing.
• Do not use for initial encounters or for fractures that are healing normally.
