Nondisp dome fx left talus, subs for fx w routn heal

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a fracture of the talus, specifically involving the dome (superior articular surface), on the left foot. The fracture is noted as nondisplaced, meaning the bone fragments remain in their anatomical alignment, and the healing process is progressing routinely.

This code is appropriate for subsequent visits where a patient is being monitored for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced dome fracture of the left talus that is healing without complications. This includes routine follow-up appointments, cast changes, or physical therapy evaluations during the expected healing period.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left" talus and "nondisplaced" dome fracture.
• Confirm the encounter is for "subsequent" care and "routine healing" is indicated.
• Do not use for initial encounters or if delayed/nonunion healing is documented.
