Nondisp fx of proximal phalanx of right great toe, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual condition resulting from a fracture of the proximal phalanx of the right great toe that was initially nondisplaced. It indicates that the acute phase of the injury has passed, and the patient is now experiencing long-term effects or complications related to the previous fracture.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing symptoms, functional limitations, or other sequelae directly attributable to a past nondisplaced fracture of the proximal phalanx of the right great toe. This includes conditions like chronic pain, stiffness, deformity, or nonunion identified after the initial healing period.

• Always assign a sequela code when the patient is seen for a complication or residual effect of a past injury, not the acute injury itself.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the previous nondisplaced fracture of the right great toe's proximal phalanx.
• Do not use this code for the initial treatment of the acute fracture; use the appropriate acute fracture code for that scenario.
