Burn of unsp deg mult sites of unsp ankle and foot, sequela

This code signifies a burn injury of the ankle and/or foot, affecting multiple sites, where the specific degree of the burn (e.g., first, second, or third) is not documented. The "sequela" seventh character indicates that this code is used for complications or conditions arising directly from the initial burn injury, after the acute phase of healing has passed.

Use this code when documenting a long-term effect or complication of a burn to multiple, unspecified sites of the ankle and foot, and the original burn degree was not specified or is unknown. This would apply to conditions like scar contractures, chronic pain, or non-healing ulcers that are a direct result of a past burn.

• Always ensure the "S" (sequela) seventh character is appropriate, indicating a late effect of the burn.
• If the specific degree of the original burn is known and documented, a more specific T25 code should be used.
• Code any associated complications or conditions (e.g., infection, contracture) in addition to this sequela code.
