Disp fx of second metatarsal bone, right foot, sequela

This code signifies a long-term complication or late effect stemming from a previously sustained fracture of the second metatarsal bone in the right foot, where the bone fragments were not in their normal anatomical alignment. It indicates that the initial injury has healed, but residual issues or conditions related to that displaced fracture are now present.

This code is appropriate when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing problems directly attributable to a past displaced fracture of the right second metatarsal. Examples include chronic pain, nonunion, malunion, degenerative changes, or functional limitations that developed as a consequence of the original injury. It should be used after the initial healing period of the acute fracture has passed.

• Always sequence this sequela code after the code for the specific residual condition (e.g., M20.21 for hallux rigidus, right foot, if it's a sequela).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the prior displaced fracture of the right second metatarsal.
• Do not use this code for an acute or current fracture; it is exclusively for late effects.
