Sltr-haris Type II physeal fx unspecified calcaneus, 7thD

This code signifies a follow-up visit for a pediatric patient who sustained a Salter-Harris Type II fracture of the growth plate in an unspecified heel bone. At this stage, the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters where a previously diagnosed Salter-Harris Type II calcaneal fracture is undergoing routine healing. This includes follow-up appointments for cast checks, removal, or assessment of continued uncomplicated recovery.

• Ensure documentation specifies "subsequent encounter" and "routine healing."
• Verify the fracture type is Salter-Harris Type II and the bone involved is the calcaneus.
• Do not use for initial encounters or encounters with delayed healing or nonunion.
