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

This code signifies a break in the main part of the right heel bone that has not shifted out of alignment. The fracture is open, meaning there is a wound communicating with the bone, and this is the initial treatment encounter for the injury.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced open fracture of the body of the right calcaneus. This is appropriate when the patient is receiving active treatment for the fracture, such as surgical repair or initial casting.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "body" of the calcaneus and "right" side.
• Confirm the fracture is explicitly documented as "nondisplaced" and "open."
• This "B" suffix indicates an initial encounter for active treatment; use subsequent encounter codes for follow-up care.
