Nondisp fx of anterior process of unsp calcaneus, init

This code signifies a break in the front-most bony projection of the heel bone (calcaneus) that has not shifted out of its normal anatomical alignment. The skin over the fracture site remains intact, indicating a closed injury.

Apply this code for the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the anterior process of the calcaneus. This is appropriate when the specific side (left or right) of the foot is not documented.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "anterior process" of the calcaneus.
• Confirm this is the patient's first encounter for this specific fracture.
• Only use this code when the laterality (left/right) of the calcaneus is not documented.
