Nondisp oth fx tuberosity of l calcaneus, init for opn fx

This code describes a fracture of the tuberosity (the prominent bony projection) of the left heel bone (calcaneus) that has not shifted out of its normal anatomical position. It specifically indicates that the skin and soft tissues overlying the fracture were broken, exposing the bone to the outside environment, and this is the initial treatment encounter for the injury.

Use this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the left calcaneal tuberosity where there is an associated open wound communicating with the fracture site. This applies to the initial treatment, such as surgical debridement and fixation, or the initial evaluation and management in an emergency setting.

• Verify documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and "open fracture" of the calcaneal tuberosity.
• Ensure the laterality is correctly identified as "left."
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for treatment of the fracture; subsequent encounters will require a different seventh character.
