Nondisplaced dome fracture of right talus, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual condition resulting from a fracture of the dome (superior articular surface) of the right talus, where the bone fragments were not significantly separated at the time of injury. It indicates that the patient is now experiencing long-term effects or complications directly attributable to this past injury.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with chronic pain, stiffness, limited range of motion, or other persistent issues in the right ankle that are directly linked to a previously sustained nondisplaced dome fracture of the talus. This applies when the initial acute injury has resolved, and the current encounter addresses the sequelae.

• Always ensure documentation clearly links the current symptoms or condition to the specified past fracture.
• Do not use this code for the initial acute injury; it is specifically for sequelae.
• Verify the laterality (right) and the specific bone (talus) and fracture type (nondisplaced dome) are accurately documented.
