Disp fx of body of right talus, subs for fx w nonunion

This code signifies a fracture of the main part of the right talus bone that is no longer in its proper anatomical alignment. The patient is in a subsequent phase of treatment, and the fracture has failed to heal properly, indicating a nonunion.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced right talus body fracture where imaging or clinical assessment confirms the fracture has not united. This is appropriate for ongoing management of the nonunion, such as planning for revision surgery or continued conservative treatment.

• Requires documentation of "nonunion" and "displaced" for the right talus body.
• The 7th character "K" indicates a subsequent encounter for a fracture with nonunion.
• Ensure laterality (right) is clearly documented.
