Nondisp fx of body of unsp talus, init for clos fx

This code signifies a break in the main part of the talus bone, located in the ankle, without any significant displacement of the bone fragments. The fracture is not open to the environment, meaning the skin remains intact. This is the first time this specific injury is being treated.

Apply this code for patients presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the talar body, where the specific side (left or right) of the talus is not documented. This is appropriate for the initial treatment phase of a closed fracture.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and "closed fracture" for the initial encounter.
• Only use this code when the laterality of the talus is not specified in the medical record.
• Confirm this is the patient's first time receiving care for this specific injury.
