Other non-in-line roller-skating accident, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health condition or complication arising from an injury sustained during a non-in-line roller-skating accident. It indicates that the initial injury has resolved, but its lasting effects are still present and require ongoing medical attention. Examples include chronic pain, limited range of motion, or neurological deficits directly attributable to the past roller-skating incident.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a sequela (late effect) of an injury that occurred due to an "other non-in-line roller-skating accident." This would apply to conditions like post-traumatic arthritis, nerve damage, or persistent functional impairment that developed as a direct consequence of such an accident, and the acute injury itself is no longer being treated.

• Always assign this sequela code secondary to the code describing the specific nature of the sequela (e.g., M19.171 for post-traumatic arthritis of the ankle).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past non-in-line roller-skating accident.
• This code is for "other" non-in-line roller-skating, meaning it excludes accidents specifically involving roller skates with wheels in a single line.
