Nondisp oth fx tuberosity of unsp calcaneus, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual condition resulting from a fracture of the calcaneal tuberosity that was not displaced at the time of injury. It indicates that the patient is experiencing long-term effects or complications from a past, non-displaced break in the heel bone's prominent posterior part. The specific calcaneus (left or right) is not documented.

Apply this code when a patient presents with ongoing symptoms or sequelae directly attributable to a previously sustained, non-displaced fracture of the calcaneal tuberosity. This includes conditions like chronic pain, stiffness, or functional limitations that persist after the initial healing phase. It is appropriate for follow-up encounters where the primary focus is managing these long-term effects.

• Always ensure documentation clearly links current symptoms to the historical fracture.
• Verify that the fracture was explicitly documented as "nondisplaced" and involved the "tuberosity" of the calcaneus.
• Use this code only for sequelae; for active treatment of a current fracture, a different code would be appropriate.
