Other physeal fracture of unspecified metatarsal, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual condition resulting from a physeal (growth plate) fracture in an unspecified metatarsal bone of the foot. It indicates that the initial injury has resolved, but there are lasting effects or complications attributable to that fracture.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a long-term complication or sequela directly related to a previously sustained growth plate fracture of a metatarsal. This could include issues like growth disturbance, angular deformity, chronic pain, or functional limitations after the acute fracture has healed.

• Always ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past metatarsal physeal fracture.
• This code is for the sequela (late effect), not the acute fracture itself.
• Specify the metatarsal if known, using a more precise code if available.
