Oth injury of plantar artery of left foot, sequela

This code indicates a long-term or residual effect from a previously sustained injury to a specific artery on the sole of the left foot, excluding the main plantar artery. This could encompass chronic pain, impaired circulation, or nerve damage stemming from the original trauma.

Apply this code when documenting a current condition directly resulting from an old injury to a plantar artery of the left foot, other than the primary one. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters where the acute phase of the injury has passed, but the patient continues to experience related symptoms or complications.

• Always use in conjunction with a code identifying the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, circulatory insufficiency).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past injury of the plantar artery.
• Verify the injury is to the left foot and not the main plantar artery.
