Nondisp fx of posterior process of left talus, sequela

This code describes a healed or residual condition resulting from a fracture of the posterior process of the left talus that was not displaced at the time of injury. It indicates that the patient is experiencing ongoing symptoms or complications directly attributable to this past injury, rather than an acute fracture.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with chronic pain, stiffness, limited range of motion, or other long-term sequelae directly related to a previously sustained and now healed nondisplaced fracture of the posterior process of the left talus. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters after the initial healing phase of the fracture.

• Requires a seventh character 'S' to indicate sequela, meaning the patient is seen for a complication or residual effect of the original injury.
• Do not use for acute or subacute fractures; those would require different seventh characters (A, D, G, K, P, R).
• Always code the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, malunion, nonunion) first, if applicable, followed by this code to indicate the cause.
