Sltr-haris Type II physeal fx phalanx of unsp toe, sequela

This code describes a healed or residual condition resulting from a Salter-Harris Type II growth plate fracture in an unspecified toe phalanx. A Type II fracture involves the growth plate and a portion of the metaphysis, and "sequela" indicates that this code is used for long-term effects or complications after the initial injury has healed.

Use this code when documenting chronic pain, deformity, growth disturbance, or other persistent issues directly attributable to a previously sustained Salter-Harris Type II fracture of a toe phalanx. This code is appropriate for follow-up visits addressing the long-term consequences, not the acute injury itself.

• Always assign an additional code for the specific sequela (e.g., M20.1X for hallux valgus, M21.6X for other acquired deformities) if applicable.
• Ensure documentation clearly states the link between the current condition and the past Salter-Harris Type II fracture.
• Do not use this code for the initial acute fracture; use the appropriate acute Salter-Harris Type II fracture code from the S92 category.
