Displaced unspecified fracture of right great toe, sequela

This code indicates a long-term complication or late effect stemming from a previously sustained, unspecified fracture of the great toe on the right foot. The original injury was displaced, meaning the bone fragments were not properly aligned. The current clinical presentation is a direct consequence of that past fracture.

This code is appropriate when a patient presents with a condition, symptom, or problem that is a residual effect of a healed or past displaced fracture of the right great toe. Examples include chronic pain, deformity, nonunion, malunion, or limited range of motion directly attributable to the old injury. It should be used after the acute phase of the fracture has passed.

• Always sequence this "S" code after the code(s) for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the previous displaced right great toe fracture.
• Verify that the fracture was indeed unspecified and involved the great toe on the right side.
