Sprain of metatarsophalangeal joint of left great toe, subs

This code indicates a sprain affecting the joint connecting the metatarsal bone to the phalanx of the left great toe. It signifies that the patient is receiving follow-up care for an injury that occurred previously, such as during physical therapy or a re-evaluation.

Use this code when documenting ongoing treatment for a left great toe metatarsophalangeal joint sprain. This includes visits for rehabilitation, monitoring healing progress, or managing persistent symptoms after the initial injury has been diagnosed and treated.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies the left great toe and the metatarsophalangeal joint.
• Verify that the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial injury or a sequela.
• Confirm the "D" seventh character is appropriate for subsequent encounters.
