Nondisp fx of anterior process of right calcaneus, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual condition resulting from a fracture of the anterior process of the right calcaneus that was initially nondisplaced. While the fracture itself has resolved, there are lingering effects or complications attributable to the original injury.

This code is appropriate when a patient presents with ongoing symptoms, functional limitations, or other sequelae directly related to a previously sustained nondisplaced anterior calcaneal fracture on the right foot. Examples include chronic pain, stiffness, or post-traumatic arthritis in the affected area.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the prior nondisplaced right anterior calcaneal fracture.
• Verify the laterality (right) and the specific bone (calcaneus) and process (anterior) are accurately documented.
