Disp fx of neck of right talus, subs for fx w delay heal

This code signifies a fracture in the neck of the right talus bone that is no longer in its anatomical alignment. The patient is in a later stage of care, and the fracture is not healing at the expected rate, indicating a complication in the recovery process.

Apply this code when documentation indicates a patient is presenting for follow-up care of a previously diagnosed displaced right talar neck fracture, and the physician notes delayed healing. This is appropriate for encounters where the focus is on managing the ongoing, complicated healing of the fracture.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "delayed healing" and specifies the right talus.
• Verify the fracture is indeed displaced; if not, a different S92.11- code may be more appropriate.
• Confirm this is a "subsequent encounter" and not the initial treatment for the fracture.
