Minimally displaced Zone II fracture of sacrum, sequela

This code signifies a past injury to the sacrum, specifically a fracture in Zone II (typically involving the sacral foramina), which was minimally displaced. The "S" at the end indicates that this code is for a sequela, meaning it describes a late effect or complication of the original injury, not the acute fracture itself.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing symptoms or conditions directly attributable to a previously sustained, minimally displaced Zone II sacral fracture. This would apply to follow-up encounters for chronic pain, nerve impingement, or other long-term issues resulting from the healed or healing fracture.

• Always use a seventh character "S" for sequela codes, indicating a late effect.
• Do not use this code for the initial encounter or active treatment of the acute fracture.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the prior sacral fracture.
