Nondisp oth fx tuberosity of r calcaneus, 7thP

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a right calcaneal tuberosity fracture that was initially nondisplaced but has since healed improperly, resulting in a malunion. The fracture itself is located in the bony prominence at the back of the heel bone.

Use this code when documenting ongoing care for a patient whose previously treated nondisplaced right calcaneal tuberosity fracture has healed in an anatomically incorrect position. This would apply to visits for monitoring, physical therapy, or surgical planning related to the malunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and specifies the right calcaneal tuberosity.
• Verify the initial fracture was nondisplaced; displaced fractures would require a different code.
• This code is for subsequent encounters, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
