Nondisp fx of first metatarsal bone, right foot, sequela

This code indicates a healed or chronic condition resulting from a fracture of the first metatarsal bone in the right foot that was initially nondisplaced. It signifies that the acute phase of the injury has passed, and the patient is now experiencing residual effects or complications related to the prior fracture.

Apply this code when documenting long-term complications, chronic pain, deformity, or functional limitations directly attributable to a previously sustained, nondisplaced fracture of the right first metatarsal. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters occurring after the initial healing period, where the focus is on the lasting impact of the injury.

• An additional code should be used to specify the nature of the sequela (e.g., chronic pain, malunion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the prior nondisplaced right first metatarsal fracture.
• This "S" seventh character indicates sequela and should only be used for encounters addressing the late effects of the injury.
