Displaced fracture of cuboid bone of right foot, sequela

This code signifies a past injury to the cuboid bone in the right foot where the bone fragments were not in their normal alignment, and the patient is now experiencing a long-term complication or residual effect directly attributable to that original fracture. These sequelae can include chronic pain, stiffness, deformity, or functional limitations.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a current condition that is a direct consequence of a previously sustained and healed displaced fracture of the right cuboid bone. This is appropriate for follow-up visits addressing ongoing issues related to the old injury, not for the initial treatment of the acute fracture.

• Always ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past displaced cuboid fracture.
• Do not use this code for acute or initial treatment of a fracture; it is specifically for sequelae.
• Code any associated current symptoms or conditions (e.g., chronic pain, osteoarthritis) in addition to this sequela code.
