Nondisp fx of neck of right talus, subs for fx w nonunion

This code signifies a fracture located in the neck of the right talus bone that has not shifted from its anatomical position. The "subsequent encounter" indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and the "nonunion" specifies that the bone fragments have failed to heal together after a typical healing period.

This code is appropriate for documenting ongoing treatment for a patient whose right talar neck fracture has not united. This includes scenarios such as follow-up appointments where nonunion is confirmed, or when surgical intervention (e.g., bone grafting, internal fixation) is being planned or performed to address the nonunion. It would also be used for conservative management of a nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and specifies the right talus and neck location.
• Verify that the encounter is for follow-up care of the fracture, not the initial treatment.
• Always sequence this code after any acute fracture codes if the nonunion is being treated concurrently with other issues.
