Other dislocation of right foot, sequela

This code signifies a chronic or late-effect condition resulting from a prior dislocation of the right foot, excluding subtalar, talonavicular, and calcaneocuboid joints. It indicates that the initial injury has healed, but the patient continues to experience residual problems directly attributable to that past dislocation.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing symptoms such as pain, instability, limited range of motion, or deformity in the right foot, and the medical record clearly links these issues to a previously treated dislocation. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing the long-term consequences of the original injury.

• Always sequence this code after the primary diagnosis describing the current manifestation of the sequela (e.g., chronic pain, osteoarthritis).
• Ensure documentation explicitly states the current condition is a "sequela" or "due to old dislocation" of the right foot.
• Do not use for acute dislocations or for dislocations of specific foot joints covered by more precise codes (e.g., subtalar).
