Nondisp fx of second metatarsal bone, left foot, sequela

This code signifies a healed fracture of the second metatarsal bone in the left foot, where the bone fragments were not displaced at the time of injury. It indicates that the patient is now experiencing a long-term effect or complication directly attributable to that past fracture.

Apply this code when documenting a current condition, symptom, or complication that is a direct sequela of a previously sustained, nondisplaced second metatarsal fracture of the left foot. This is appropriate for chronic pain, deformity, or functional limitation stemming from the old injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past fracture as a sequela.
• Do not use for acute fractures or for follow-up care of a healing fracture; this is specifically for long-term effects.
• Always code the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, malunion) in addition to this sequela code.
