Heelies colliding with stationary object, sequela

This code describes a long-term or late-occurring health problem resulting from an injury sustained when a person using Heelies (shoes with retractable wheels in the heel) collided with a stationary object. This indicates that the initial injury has resolved, but a residual condition or complication persists.

This code is appropriate when documenting a patient presenting with a current sequela directly attributable to a past injury involving Heelies colliding with a stationary object. Examples include chronic pain, limited range of motion, or scarring that developed as a consequence of the original incident.

• Always sequence the sequela code first, followed by the code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past Heelies injury.
• Do not use this code for the initial injury or for subsequent acute injuries.
