Unspecified physeal fracture of right calcaneus, sequela

This code signifies a long-term complication or late effect stemming from an unspecific fracture of the growth plate in the right heel bone. The original fracture itself is no longer acute, and the patient is presenting with residual issues related to that past injury.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting for follow-up care or treatment of a persistent problem (e.g., chronic pain, deformity, limited range of motion) that is directly attributable to a previously sustained, but now healed, physeal fracture of the right calcaneus. This is appropriate when the specific type of physeal fracture was not documented or is unknown.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, malunion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past physeal fracture of the right calcaneus.
• Do not use this code for initial or active treatment of the fracture itself; it is exclusively for late effects.
