Oth fracture of upper and lower end of right fibula, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual condition resulting from a fracture of either the proximal or distal end of the right fibula. It indicates that the initial injury has resolved, but the patient continues to experience long-term effects or complications directly attributable to that past fracture.

Apply this code when documenting chronic pain, malunion, nonunion, deformity, or functional impairment of the right lower leg that is a direct consequence of a previously sustained fibular fracture. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters after the initial fracture has healed, but ongoing sequelae are being addressed.

• Always link this sequela code to an external cause code (V00-Y99) if the original injury's cause is still relevant for reporting.
• Ensure documentation clearly states the connection between the current condition and the past fibular fracture.
• Do not use this code for acute or active fractures; those require codes from the initial injury phase.
