Nondisp fx of posterior process of right talus, sequela

This code signifies a chronic or late effect of a non-displaced fracture affecting the posterior process of the talus bone in the right foot. It indicates that the initial injury has healed, but the patient is still experiencing residual symptoms or complications directly attributable to that past fracture.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing pain, stiffness, limited range of motion, or other long-term issues in the right ankle or foot, where a previously diagnosed non-displaced fracture of the right talar posterior process is identified as the underlying cause. This is appropriate for follow-up visits addressing persistent symptoms after the acute healing phase.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., chronic pain, osteoarthritis).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current symptoms to the historical fracture of the right talar posterior process.
• Verify the fracture was indeed non-displaced and located in the posterior process of the right talus.
