Nondisp oth extrartic fracture of unsp calcaneus, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual effect of a fracture in the calcaneus (heel bone) that was located outside of the joint capsule and did not involve displacement of the bone fragments. The specific location of the fracture within the calcaneus is not documented.

Apply this code when a patient presents for follow-up care, rehabilitation, or management of long-term complications (e.g., chronic pain, stiffness, deformity) directly attributable to a previously sustained, nondisplaced, other extraarticular calcaneal fracture. This indicates that the initial acute injury has resolved, but its lasting impact is still being addressed.

• Only use this code for sequelae (late effects) of a past fracture, not for the initial acute injury.
• Ensure documentation clearly states the fracture was "nondisplaced" and "extraarticular" and that the specific location within the calcaneus was not specified.
• Always code the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, malunion) in addition to this sequela code, if applicable.
