Disp fx of ant pro of r calcaneus, subs for fx w routn heal

This code signifies a fracture of the front part of the right heel bone that is no longer in its proper anatomical alignment. The "D" seventh character indicates that the patient is in the healing phase of the fracture, and the treatment is progressing as expected without complications.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is receiving routine care for a previously diagnosed displaced fracture of the anterior process of the right calcaneus. This includes situations like cast changes, wound checks, or physical therapy evaluations during the expected healing period. It is appropriate when the fracture is healing normally and no new complications have arisen.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "anterior process" of the calcaneus.
• The "D" seventh character is crucial for subsequent encounters with routine healing.
• Do not use for initial treatment or for encounters involving delayed healing or nonunion.
