S93.412S Sprain of calcaneofibular ligament of the left ankle, sequela
There is no time limit on when a sequela code can be used. The residual effect may be present early or may occur months or years later. Two codes are generally required: one describing the nature of the sequela and one for the sequela. The code for the acute phase of the illness or injury is never reported with a code for the late effect.
Rationale: The complete paraplegia is a sequela of the burst fracture of the T3 vertebral fracture and resulting spinal cord injury.
The ‘S’ is added only to the injury code, not the sequela code. The seventh character ‘S’ identifies the injury responsible for the sequela. The specific type of sequela (e.g. scar) is sequenced first, followed by the injury code.”.
Rationale: Scar contractures due to burn injury are reported with code L90.5 that is the first-listed or principal diagnosis and the burn injury is reported as a secondary code to identify the cause of the sequela.
The sequela code may also be expanded at the fourth, fifth, or sixth character levels to include the manifestation
