Mech compl of electronic bone stimulator, sequela

This code signifies a long-term or residual issue arising from a past mechanical problem with an electronic bone stimulator. It indicates that the initial complication, such as a fracture of the device, displacement, or other structural failure, has led to ongoing health consequences for the patient.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with persistent symptoms or conditions directly attributable to a previously resolved or treated mechanical complication of an electronic bone stimulator. This applies to situations where the original complication has left a lasting impact, even if the device itself has been repaired or removed.

• Always sequence this code after the code describing the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, nonunion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past mechanical complication of the bone stimulator.
• Do not use this code for acute or ongoing mechanical complications; those would be coded with the appropriate T84.39- code without the "S" seventh character.
