Open bite of right great toe without damage to nail, sequela

This code describes a long-term complication or late effect resulting from an open bite injury to the right great toe, specifically where the nail itself was not damaged during the initial injury. This indicates that the acute injury has resolved, but residual issues or conditions persist.

This code is used when documenting a patient presenting with a current condition or symptom that is a direct consequence of an open bite to the right great toe that occurred in the past. Examples include chronic pain, scar tissue, altered sensation, or functional limitations directly attributable to the old bite wound, provided the nail was not initially damaged.

• Always assign this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past open bite injury of the right great toe.
• Verify that the medical record explicitly states "without damage to nail" for the initial injury.
