Oth recurrent vertebral dislocation, sacr/sacrocygl region

This code signifies an unstable sacral or sacrococcygeal vertebral segment that repeatedly displaces from its normal anatomical position. It describes a chronic or recurring issue rather than an acute, isolated event, affecting the lowest part of the spine.

Use this code for patients presenting with documented recurrent instability or dislocation of the sacrum or coccyx. Documentation should clearly state "recurrent dislocation" or "instability" of the sacral or sacrococcygeal region, often supported by imaging studies demonstrating the displacement.

• Ensure documentation specifies "recurrent" to differentiate from an initial or acute dislocation.
• Verify the specific vertebral region (sacral or sacrococcygeal) to avoid miscoding with other spinal regions.
• This code requires a 7th character to specify the encounter type (e.g., A for initial, D for subsequent, S for sequela).
