Nondisp fx of second metatarsal bone, unsp foot, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual condition resulting from a prior nondisplaced fracture of the second metatarsal bone. The fracture itself is no longer acute, but the patient is experiencing ongoing issues or complications directly attributable to the past injury. The specific foot (left or right) is not documented.

Apply this code when a patient presents with a long-term complication, such as chronic pain, deformity, stiffness, or functional limitation, that is a direct consequence of a previously sustained nondisplaced fracture of the second metatarsal. This code is appropriate when the initial fracture has healed, and the current encounter addresses the sequela, not the acute injury.

• Always ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past fracture.
• Do not use this code for the initial treatment of an acute fracture; use the appropriate acute fracture code.
• Consider if an additional code is needed to specify the nature of the sequela (e.g., chronic pain, malunion).
