Abrasion, unspecified lesser toe(s), sequela

This code describes the long-term effects or complications resulting from a past abrasion injury to any of the lesser toes (toes 2-5). It indicates that the initial injury has healed, but there are residual issues or conditions directly attributable to that abrasion.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with a current condition that is a direct consequence of a previously sustained abrasion to an unspecified lesser toe. Examples include chronic pain, scarring, or altered sensation in the affected toe, where the original injury is no longer acute.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., chronic pain, scar).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past abrasion of the lesser toe(s).
• Do not use for acute abrasions; those require codes from the initial encounter or subsequent encounter categories.
