Fracture of corpus cavernosum penis, sequela

This code signifies a long-term complication or residual effect stemming from a prior fracture of the corpus cavernosum of the penis. This could include persistent erectile dysfunction, penile curvature (Peyronie's disease-like changes), or chronic pain directly attributable to the original injury. It indicates that the initial acute injury has resolved, but its lasting consequences are now being addressed.

Apply this code when documenting the treatment or evaluation of a patient experiencing ongoing issues directly related to a previously sustained penile fracture. This is appropriate for follow-up appointments where the sequelae are the primary focus, such as managing chronic pain, addressing erectile dysfunction, or planning corrective surgery for penile deformity resulting from the old fracture.

• Always use in conjunction with a code describing the specific sequela (e.g., N48.4 for impotence of organic origin, N48.6 for Peyronie's disease).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the historical penile fracture.
• Do not use for the initial acute fracture; this code is exclusively for residual effects.
