Other fracture of right great toe, sequela

This code signifies a healed or chronic fracture of the right great toe, where residual effects or complications from the original injury are still present. These sequelae might include pain, deformity, limited range of motion, or nonunion that is no longer acute. It indicates that the initial fracture event has passed, but its lasting impact is being addressed.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing problems directly attributable to a past fracture of their right great toe. This is appropriate for follow-up visits addressing chronic pain, stiffness, or functional limitations resulting from the old injury. It should be applied when the acute phase of the fracture has resolved, and the current encounter focuses on the long-term consequences.

• Always ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a previous right great toe fracture.
• Do not use this code for acute or subacute fractures; those require codes from the initial or subsequent encounter categories.
• Report any associated chronic pain or other specific sequelae with additional, more detailed codes as appropriate.
