Nondisp fx of post pro of l talus, subs for fx w routn heal

This code signifies a fracture of the posterior process of the left talus that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment. This specific code is used when the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture and the healing process is progressing routinely.

Use this code for patients presenting for a follow-up appointment after an initial diagnosis of a nondisplaced posterior talar process fracture of the left foot. This applies when the physician documents routine healing, such as cast changes, physical therapy evaluations, or repeat imaging showing expected callus formation. Do not use for initial treatment or if complications are noted.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "posterior process of left talus."
• Verify the encounter is for "subsequent care" and "routine healing."
• Distinguish from initial encounters (A) or encounters with delayed/nonunion healing (K, P, S).
