Other fracture of right foot, sequela

This code signifies a fracture in the right foot, excluding the ankle or toes, where the acute injury has healed but the patient continues to experience residual effects or complications. These sequelae might include chronic pain, deformity, limited range of motion, or nonunion/malunion issues stemming from the original fracture.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with long-term problems directly attributable to a past fracture of the right foot (excluding ankle/toe). This is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing the chronic consequences of the injury, rather than the initial acute fracture treatment.

• Always use an additional code to specify the nature of the sequela (e.g., M20.11 for hallux valgus, M21.071 for acquired equinus deformity of right foot).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition as a direct result of a previous right foot fracture.
• Do not use this code for acute fractures; those require codes from the initial S92.x series without the "S" seventh character.
