Nondisp fx of anterior process of unsp calcaneus, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual condition resulting from a nondisplaced fracture of the anterior process of the calcaneus, where the specific side (left or right) of the foot was not documented. The fracture itself is no longer acute, and the patient is experiencing ongoing effects or complications related to the previous injury.

Apply this code when a patient presents with a chronic issue, pain, or functional limitation directly attributable to a past, nondisplaced fracture of the anterior process of the calcaneus. This would be used after the initial healing phase of the fracture has concluded, and the documentation specifies the sequela.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "sequela" or describes a chronic condition resulting from a past fracture.
• Verify that the fracture was explicitly described as "nondisplaced" and involved the "anterior process of the calcaneus."
• Only use this code when the laterality (left or right) of the affected foot is not specified in the medical record.
