Salter-Harris Type II physeal fracture of r calcaneus, 7thD

This code signifies a follow-up visit for a pediatric patient who sustained a Salter-Harris Type II fracture of the growth plate in their right heel bone. The fracture is currently healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code for subsequent encounters where a patient is receiving routine follow-up care for a previously diagnosed Salter-Harris Type II fracture of the right calcaneus. This includes visits for cast changes, progress checks, or physical therapy evaluations during the normal healing process.

• Ensure documentation specifies "subsequent encounter" and "routine healing" for the right calcaneus.
• Verify the fracture type is explicitly documented as Salter-Harris Type II.
• Do not use this code for initial treatment or if delayed/nonunion healing is noted.
