Nondisplaced unsp fracture of right great toe, sequela

This code signifies a healed or chronic condition resulting from a fracture of the great toe on the right foot that was initially nondisplaced and for which the specific bone involved within the great toe was not documented. It indicates that the patient is experiencing ongoing problems or complications directly attributable to that past injury.

Use this code when a patient presents with a long-term complication, disability, or residual effect stemming from a previously sustained, nondisplaced, and unspecified fracture of their right great toe. This applies to encounters where the initial acute injury has resolved, but the patient continues to require care related to its lasting impact.

• This "S" seventh character indicates a sequela, meaning the patient is being seen for a complication or condition resulting from the initial fracture, not the acute fracture itself.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past right great toe fracture.
• Do not use this code for the initial treatment of an acute fracture; use an appropriate "A" or "D" seventh character code for active treatment or routine healing.
