Salter-Harris Type I physeal fracture of r calcaneus, 7thG

This code describes a Salter-Harris Type I fracture affecting the growth plate of the right heel bone (calcaneus), which is currently in a phase of delayed healing. This indicates that the fracture is not progressing to union at the expected rate for its type and location.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed Salter-Harris Type I physeal fracture of the right calcaneus is being evaluated for ongoing treatment due to slower-than-anticipated healing. It would be used when the fracture has not yet fully united but is still under active management.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "delayed healing" for the right calcaneus physeal fracture.
• Verify the fracture type is specifically Salter-Harris Type I.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment.
