Sltr-haris Type II physeal fx unspecified calcaneus, 7thK

This code signifies a Salter-Harris Type II fracture affecting the growth plate of an unspecified calcaneus bone, where the fracture has failed to heal properly after an initial treatment. The "subsequent encounter" indicates the patient is receiving ongoing care for this nonunion.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up visits for a patient diagnosed with a Salter-Harris Type II calcaneal fracture that has not united. This includes encounters for evaluating the nonunion, planning further interventions like bone grafting, or managing complications related to the unhealed fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" of the fracture.
• Verify the fracture type is specifically Salter-Harris Type II.
• Confirm the encounter is for subsequent care, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
