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

This code signifies a healed or residual effect of an open bite injury to an unspecified great toe, where the nail itself was not damaged. It indicates that the initial wound has resolved, but there are lasting consequences or complications from the original injury.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with a long-term issue directly attributable to a past open bite wound on the great toe, and the nail was explicitly noted as undamaged. This is appropriate for follow-up visits addressing chronic pain, scarring, or functional limitations resulting from the old injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a previous open bite injury.
• Verify that the medical record explicitly states "without damage to nail" for the great toe.
• This code is for sequelae; do not use for acute or initial injury encounters.
