Nondisp oth fracture of tuberosity of r calcaneus, sequela

This code describes a healed or residual condition stemming from a fracture of the tuberosity of the right calcaneus (heel bone) that was initially nondisplaced and involved a type of fracture other than a simple or comminuted break. It indicates that the patient is still experiencing long-term effects or complications from this past injury.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing symptoms, functional limitations, or other sequelae directly attributable to a previously sustained, nondisplaced, "other" type of fracture of the right calcaneal tuberosity. This would include conditions like chronic pain, stiffness, or deformity after the acute phase of healing has passed.

• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past right calcaneal tuberosity fracture.
• The "S" seventh character indicates sequela, meaning the acute injury has resolved, but residual effects persist.
• Verify the fracture was specifically of the tuberosity and was initially nondisplaced and categorized as "other" (not specified as simple or comminuted).
