Nondisp fx of navicular of unspecified foot, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual condition resulting from a nondisplaced fracture of the navicular bone (also known as the scaphoid) in an unspecified foot. It indicates that the initial fracture has resolved, but there are ongoing effects or complications attributable to the past injury.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with long-term complications, pain, stiffness, or functional limitations directly related to a previously sustained nondisplaced navicular fracture of the foot. This applies when the acute phase of the fracture has passed, and the patient is being treated for sequelae.

• Only use this code for the sequela of a fracture, not for the initial acute injury or during the active healing phase.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the previous navicular fracture.
• Avoid using this code if the laterality (left or right foot) is known; instead, use the more specific codes for sequela of nondisplaced navicular fracture of the left or right foot.
