Disp fx of body of right talus, subs for fx w malunion

This code signifies a fracture of the main part of the talus bone in the right foot that has healed incorrectly, resulting in a deformity or misalignment. The patient is currently undergoing treatment for this malunited fracture.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting for follow-up care, surgical correction, or rehabilitation of a previously sustained right talus body fracture that has healed in an unsatisfactory position. This includes scenarios where the malunion is causing ongoing pain, functional impairment, or requiring further intervention.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and specifies the "body" of the right talus.
• Verify this is a "subsequent encounter" for the fracture, indicating ongoing care after the initial treatment.
• Do not use for nonunion (failure to heal) or initial fracture treatment.
