Disp fx of body of left talus, subs for fx w routn heal

This code signifies a fracture of the main part of the left talus bone that is no longer in its correct anatomical position. The patient is currently in a phase of routine healing following initial treatment for this specific injury.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed and treated displaced left talus body fracture. This is appropriate for encounters where the fracture is progressing as expected without complications, such as during cast changes, routine X-ray checks, or physical therapy sessions for uncomplicated healing.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left" talus and "displaced" to support this code.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or delayed/nonunion healing.
• Confirm the fracture is of the "body" of the talus, as other talus fracture locations have different codes.
