Nondisp dome fracture of right talus, subs for fx w nonunion

This code describes a fracture of the dome (superior articular surface) of the right talus that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment. The "subsequent encounter" indicates the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and "nonunion" signifies that the bone has failed to heal completely after a typical healing period.

Use this code for patients presenting for ongoing treatment of a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced right talar dome fracture where imaging or clinical assessment confirms that the fracture has not united. This would include scenarios such as continued immobilization, physical therapy, or surgical planning for nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "dome fracture of the talus."
• Verify the encounter is for follow-up care and not the initial treatment.
• Confirm the presence of nonunion, typically documented by a physician.
