Other heelies accident, sequela

This code indicates a long-term or late-effect condition resulting from an injury sustained in an accident involving heelies, which are shoes with retractable wheels. The original acute injury has healed, but the patient continues to experience residual symptoms or complications directly attributable to that past incident.

This code is appropriate when documenting a current condition that is a direct consequence of a heelies accident that occurred in the past. Examples include chronic pain, limited range of motion, or scar tissue formation at the site of a previous fracture or sprain caused by a heelies fall. It should be used for follow-up encounters addressing these persistent issues.

• Always sequence this S-code (sequela) after the code(s) identifying the specific residual condition(s).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past heelies accident.
• Do not use this code for the initial acute injury; instead, use the appropriate acute injury code with an external cause code for the heelies accident.
