Nondisp 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 that has not shifted out of alignment. The patient is in a follow-up phase of treatment, and the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for office visits or follow-up appointments where a patient is being monitored for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced talar body fracture that is progressing well. It indicates that the initial treatment has been rendered and the healing process is routine.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "body of talus."
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing.
• Do not use for initial treatment or if healing is complicated or delayed.
