Nondisplaced fracture of body of unspecified talus, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual condition resulting from a fracture of the main part of the talus bone in the ankle, where the bone fragments were not displaced at the time of the original injury. The "sequela" indicates that this code is used to report a current problem or condition that is a direct consequence of that past fracture.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with a long-term complication or residual effect directly attributable to a previously sustained, nondisplaced fracture of the talar body. This includes conditions like chronic pain, stiffness, or degenerative changes in the ankle joint that developed after the initial fracture healed.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., M25.571 for chronic ankle pain).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past talar fracture.
• Do not use this code for acute or subacute fractures; it is exclusively for sequelae.
