Oth osteopor w current path fracture, left ank/ft, sequela

This code signifies a healed pathological fracture of the left ankle and/or foot that occurred due to osteoporosis, where the patient is still experiencing residual effects or complications from that fracture. It indicates that the underlying osteoporosis is not specified as postmenopausal, age-related, or drug-induced.

Use this code when documentation clearly states a patient has a history of an osteoporotic pathological fracture of the left ankle or foot, and the fracture has healed but is still causing ongoing problems (e.g., pain, limited mobility, deformity). The "sequela" aspect requires the fracture to be old and the patient to be experiencing a residual condition directly related to it.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "left" ankle and/or foot and confirms the fracture is pathological due to osteoporosis.
• "Sequela" implies a healed fracture with lasting effects; do not use for acute or actively healing fractures.
• Always code the underlying osteoporosis first (e.g., M81.8 for other osteoporosis) if it is still an active condition being treated.
