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

This code signifies a break in the main part of the heel bone (calcaneus) that has shifted out of its normal alignment. It indicates that this is the first time the patient is receiving active treatment for this specific injury, and the skin over the fracture site remains intact.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, displaced fracture of the calcaneal body, where the fracture is not open to the external environment. This is appropriate for initial treatment encounters such as emergency room visits, initial orthopedic consultations, or hospital admissions for the fracture.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "body of calcaneus" for accurate code assignment.
• Verify that the encounter is for the initial treatment of the fracture, not subsequent care.
• Confirm the fracture is "closed" (no open wound communicating with the fracture site).
