Nondisp fx of medial malleolus of right tibia, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual condition resulting from a prior, non-displaced fracture of the medial malleolus (the inner ankle bone) of the right tibia. While the fracture itself is no longer acute, the patient is experiencing ongoing issues or complications directly attributable to that past injury.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with chronic pain, stiffness, limited range of motion, or other long-term sequelae directly related to a previously sustained, non-displaced medial malleolar fracture of the right tibia. This is appropriate when the initial fracture has healed, but its effects persist.

• Always use in conjunction with a code describing the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, osteoarthritis).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past fracture.
• The 7th character 'S' indicates sequela and should only be used for complications or conditions arising after the initial healing of the fracture.
