Unspecified physeal fracture of left calcaneus, 7thP

This code describes a fracture involving the growth plate (physis) of the left heel bone (calcaneus) where the specific type of physeal fracture is not documented. It indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and it has healed in an unsatisfactory position, leading to a malunion.

Use this code for patients presenting for ongoing treatment of a previously diagnosed, unspecified physeal fracture of the left calcaneus that has healed incorrectly. This would typically be seen in follow-up appointments where imaging confirms malunion and the patient is being managed for its complications or considering corrective procedures.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left" calcaneus and "physeal fracture."
• Verify that the encounter is for follow-up care and explicitly mentions "malunion."
• Do not use for initial encounters or for fractures without documented malunion.
