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

This code signifies a break in the main part of the heel bone (calcaneus) in the right foot. The bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical position, meaning they have not shifted out of alignment. This diagnosis is for the initial treatment phase of a closed fracture, where the skin remains intact over the injury.

Apply this code for patients presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the body of the right calcaneus. This is appropriate for the initial encounter where definitive treatment, such as casting or splinting, is being initiated. It should be used when there is no open wound communicating with the fracture site.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "body" of the calcaneus.
• Verify laterality is "right" and that this is indeed the "initial encounter" for treatment.
• Confirm the fracture is "closed" and not an open fracture, which would require a different seventh character.
