Other fracture of unspecified great toe, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual condition resulting from a past fracture of an unspecified great toe, excluding specific types like displaced or nondisplaced. It indicates that the patient is experiencing a long-term effect or complication directly attributable to the previous toe injury, rather than an acute fracture.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing symptoms such as pain, deformity, limited range of motion, or nonunion that are directly related to a prior great toe fracture. This applies after the acute phase of the fracture has passed and treatment for the initial injury is complete.

• Always sequence this code after the primary diagnosis describing the sequela itself (e.g., M20.10 for hallux valgus).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past great toe fracture.
• Do not use this code for acute or current great toe fractures; use the appropriate acute fracture code.
