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

This code describes a fracture in the main part of the talus bone, which is one of the ankle bones, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal alignment. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing treatment for a previously diagnosed displaced talus body fracture. It signifies that the healing process is progressing routinely, such as during cast changes, physical therapy sessions, or routine radiographic checks.

• Ensure documentation specifies a "displaced" fracture of the talus body.
• The 7th character "D" indicates a subsequent encounter for a fracture with routine healing.
• Do not use for initial treatment or for fractures with delayed or nonunion healing.
