Disp fx of body of right calcaneus, init for clos fx

This diagnosis code signifies a break in the main part of the heel bone (calcaneus) on the right foot, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal alignment. It indicates the initial treatment for this injury, which is a closed fracture, meaning the skin remains intact over the fracture site.

This code is appropriate for the initial encounter when a patient presents with a newly diagnosed, displaced fracture of the body of the right calcaneus. It should be used for the first time the patient receives active treatment for this specific injury, such as casting, splinting, or surgical intervention.

• Confirm laterality (right) and the specific part of the calcaneus (body) are documented.
• Ensure "displaced" is clearly stated in the physician's notes.
• Verify this is the initial encounter for active treatment of the closed fracture; subsequent encounters will require a different seventh character.
