Displaced fracture of cuboid bone of left foot, sequela

This code signifies a past fracture of the cuboid bone in the left foot that was displaced at the time of injury, and the patient is now experiencing a long-term complication or residual effect from that fracture. These sequelae can include chronic pain, malunion, nonunion, arthritis, or functional limitations directly attributable to the old injury.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing issues or conditions stemming from a previously displaced cuboid fracture in their left foot. This is appropriate for follow-up visits where the focus is on managing the chronic effects of the healed or healing fracture, rather than the acute injury itself.

• Always ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the old displaced cuboid fracture.
• This code requires a seventh character 'S' for sequela, indicating a late effect.
• Code any specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, osteoarthritis) in addition to this code, if applicable.
