Nondisp fx of third metatarsal bone, right foot, sequela

This code indicates a past injury to the third metatarsal bone in the right foot that has since healed, but the patient is still experiencing residual effects or complications directly related to that fracture. The original fracture was "nondisplaced," meaning the bone fragments remained in their normal alignment.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing pain, stiffness, deformity, nonunion, malunion, or other long-term issues stemming from a previously sustained and now healed nondisplaced fracture of the right third metatarsal. This applies even if the initial fracture occurred months or years prior.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, osteoarthritis).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past nondisplaced right third metatarsal fracture.
• Do not use this code for acute or active fractures; those require codes from the initial encounter or subsequent encounter categories.
