Nondisplaced fracture of cuboid bone of left foot, sequela

This code signifies a past, resolved fracture of the cuboid bone in the left foot that did not involve displacement of the bone fragments. While the acute injury has healed, the "sequela" designation indicates that the patient is currently experiencing a residual condition or complication directly attributable to this old fracture. This could include chronic pain, stiffness, limited range of motion, or other long-term effects.

This code is appropriate when a patient presents with a current complaint or condition that is a direct consequence of a previously sustained, nondisplaced cuboid fracture of the left foot. This would apply to follow-up visits for chronic pain or functional limitations stemming from the old injury, even if the fracture itself is fully healed. It should be used when the patient's current symptoms are directly linked to the historical fracture.

• Always use in conjunction with a code describing the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, osteoarthritis).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the old, nondisplaced cuboid fracture of the left foot.
• Verify that the fracture was indeed nondisplaced and located in the left foot, as specified by the code.
