Nondisplaced fracture of neck of right talus, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual condition resulting from a fracture of the neck of the right talus, where the bone fragments were not displaced at the time of the original injury. It indicates that the patient is experiencing ongoing issues or long-term effects directly attributable to this past fracture.

This code is appropriate when documenting a patient's visit for a sequela (e.g., chronic pain, stiffness, limited range of motion, post-traumatic arthritis) directly related to a previously sustained, nondisplaced fracture of the neck of the right talus. It should be used after the initial healing period of the acute fracture has passed.

• Always sequence this sequela code after the code for the specific residual condition being treated (e.g., M25.571 for pain in right ankle and foot).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past nondisplaced fracture of the right talus neck.
• Do not use this code for the initial treatment of the acute fracture; use the appropriate acute fracture code instead.
