Nondisp fx of body of unspecified calcaneus, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual condition resulting from a fracture to the main part of the heel bone (calcaneus) that was not displaced at the time of injury. It indicates that the initial fracture has resolved, but the patient is still experiencing symptoms or complications directly attributable to the past injury.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing pain, stiffness, deformity, or other long-term effects directly related to a previously sustained, nondisplaced body of calcaneus fracture. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters after the initial healing period, where the sequela is the primary reason for the visit.

• This code is for sequela only; do not use for active or acute fractures.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current symptoms to the past nondisplaced calcaneus fracture.
• Always code the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, malunion) in addition to this code, if applicable.
