Nondisplaced oth extrartic fracture of l calcaneus, sequela

This code describes a healed or residual condition resulting from a fracture of the calcaneus (heel bone) that did not involve the joint surface and was not displaced at the time of injury. The fracture occurred in the left foot and any ongoing issues are directly attributable to this past injury.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a sequela (e.g., chronic pain, deformity, functional limitation) directly related to a previously sustained, nondisplaced, extraarticular fracture of the left calcaneus. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters after the initial healing phase, where the long-term effects of the fracture are being addressed.

• Requires a seventh character 'S' for sequela, indicating the long-term effects of the injury.
• Do not use for initial treatment or active healing of the fracture; those require 'A' or 'D' seventh characters.
• Always code the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, malunion) in addition to this code.
