Displaced dome fracture of right talus, sequela

This code signifies a long-term complication or late effect stemming from a previously displaced fracture of the dome of the right talus bone. It indicates that the initial injury has healed, but residual issues or conditions directly attributable to that specific fracture are now present.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing symptoms, functional limitations, or other sequelae directly resulting from a past displaced dome fracture of the right talus. This applies after the initial healing phase of the fracture has concluded, and the current encounter addresses these persistent issues.

• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the previous displaced dome fracture of the right talus.
• This code is for the sequela of the fracture, not the initial acute injury or a malunion/nonunion during the active healing phase.
• Always code any associated current symptoms or conditions in addition to this sequela code.
