Sprain of MTP joint of right great toe, sequela

This code signifies a long-term or late-effect complication resulting from a previous sprain of the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint of the right great toe. This could include persistent pain, instability, stiffness, or other functional limitations that arise after the initial acute injury has resolved.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing issues directly attributable to a past sprain of the right great toe MTP joint. This applies to conditions that are not acute but are a residual effect of the original injury, such as chronic pain or degenerative changes.

• Always assign an additional code to describe the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, arthritis).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a previous right great toe MTP joint sprain.
• Do not use for acute or subacute sprains; those require codes from the initial or subsequent encounter categories.
