Other specified fracture of right pubis, sequela

This code indicates a past fracture of the right pubic bone, where the patient is still experiencing residual effects or complications directly related to that previous injury. These sequelae could include ongoing pain, malunion, nonunion, or functional limitations. It signifies that the acute phase of the fracture has passed, but its impact persists.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with long-term complications or conditions stemming from a previously sustained, non-specific fracture of the right pubis. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing chronic issues directly attributable to the old injury, rather than the initial acute treatment.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, malunion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past right pubic fracture.
• The "S" seventh character indicates sequela and should only be used for complications or conditions arising as a direct result of a resolved injury.
