Disp fx of body of right talus, subs for fx w routn heal

This code signifies a fracture of the main part of the right talus bone that was initially displaced, meaning the bone fragments were not in their normal alignment. The patient is now in a follow-up phase where the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for subsequent visits related to the initial displaced right talus body fracture, where the physician documents routine healing progress. This includes appointments for cast changes, follow-up X-rays showing callus formation, or general monitoring during the expected healing period.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "right talus" and "body" to support this specific anatomical site.
• Verify the encounter is for "subsequent" care and that healing is progressing "routinely" without complications.
• Do not use this code for initial treatment or if complications like nonunion or malunion are present.
