Torus fracture of lower end of right fibula, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual condition resulting from a torus (buckle) fracture of the distal end of the right fibula. It indicates that the initial injury has resolved, but the patient is still experiencing long-term effects or complications directly attributable to that fracture.

Use this code when documenting ongoing pain, deformity, limited range of motion, or other persistent issues in the right ankle/lower leg that are a direct consequence of a previously sustained torus fracture of the right distal fibula. This applies to follow-up encounters occurring long after the initial fracture treatment has concluded.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., chronic pain, malunion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the prior torus fracture of the right fibula.
• Do not use for acute or subacute phases of the fracture; reserve for long-term effects.
