Displaced dome fracture of right talus, init for clos fx

This code signifies a fracture of the superior articular surface of the right talus bone, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal anatomical alignment. This injury involves the dome, or top, portion of the talus and is considered a closed fracture, meaning the skin remains intact.

Apply this code for patients presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-surgical, displaced fracture of the right talar dome. This is appropriate for the initial visit where the injury is first evaluated and treatment initiated, provided the skin is not broken.

• Confirm documentation specifies "displaced" and "dome" of the talus.
• Ensure the encounter is the "initial" one for this specific injury.
• Verify the fracture is "closed" and not open; an open fracture would require a different code.
