Displaced intartic fx r calcaneus, subs for fx w routn heal

This code signifies a fracture within the joint space of the right heel bone (calcaneus) that is no longer in its anatomical position. The patient is currently in a phase of routine healing following the initial treatment of this fracture.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced intraarticular right calcaneus fracture is showing expected progress towards healing. It would be used when the fracture is stable and no complications are present, indicating routine follow-up care.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "intraarticular" for the calcaneus fracture.
• Verify the encounter is for routine healing and not for active treatment or complications.
• Confirm laterality is "right" as specified by the code.
