Nondisplaced fracture of body of left calcaneus, sequela

This code indicates a patient is experiencing a long-term complication or residual effect stemming from a previously sustained, non-displaced fracture of the body of the left calcaneus (heel bone). The original injury has healed, but the patient continues to have issues directly related to that fracture.

Apply this code when a patient presents for treatment of a current problem that is a direct consequence of an old, healed, non-displaced fracture of the left calcaneal body. This includes conditions like chronic pain, stiffness, deformity, or functional limitation directly attributable to the prior fracture. Do not use for the initial treatment of the acute fracture.

• Always sequence this sequela code after the code for the specific current condition being treated (e.g., chronic pain, malunion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current problem to the previous left calcaneal fracture.
• Verify the fracture was indeed non-displaced and involved the body of the calcaneus.
