In-line roller-skater colliding w stationary object, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health condition or complication resulting from an injury sustained when an individual on in-line roller skates crashed into a non-moving object. It indicates that the initial injury has resolved, but its lasting effects are still present and require ongoing medical attention.

Use this code when documenting a patient's current medical condition that is a direct consequence of a past in-line roller skating accident involving a stationary object. This applies to follow-up encounters for chronic pain, limited mobility, scar tissue complications, or other persistent issues stemming from the original incident.

• Always sequence this sequela code after the code for the specific nature of the sequela (e.g., chronic pain, malunion, scar).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past in-line roller skating accident.
• Do not use this code for the initial injury or subsequent acute care; it is exclusively for residual effects.
