Nondisp fx of distal phalanx of right great toe, sequela

This code describes a long-term complication or residual effect stemming from a previously sustained, non-displaced fracture of the furthest bone in the great toe of the right foot. The initial injury has healed, but the patient is now experiencing a persistent issue directly attributable to that past fracture.

This code is appropriate when a patient presents with a current condition, such as chronic pain, deformity, or limited range of motion, that is a direct consequence of a healed, non-displaced distal phalanx fracture of the right great toe. It signifies that the fracture itself is no longer acute, but its lasting impact is being addressed.

• Always link this sequela code to an additional code specifying the nature of the current residual condition (e.g., chronic pain, malunion).
• Ensure documentation clearly states the current condition is a sequela of a healed fracture, not an acute or active fracture.
• Verify the fracture was specifically of the distal phalanx of the right great toe and was nondisplaced.
