Other subluxation of right radial head, sequela

This code signifies a chronic or late-effect condition involving an incomplete dislocation of the right radial head, not otherwise specified. It indicates that the patient is experiencing ongoing symptoms or complications directly attributable to a past subluxation event of the right radial head.

Apply this code when documenting residual pain, instability, limited range of motion, or other long-term sequelae resulting from a previous, unspecified subluxation of the right radial head. This is appropriate for follow-up visits where the initial injury has resolved but its lasting impact is being addressed.

• Always assign an external cause code (V00-Y99) to describe the circumstances of the original injury, if known and applicable.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current symptoms to the historical subluxation of the right radial head.
• Do not use for acute or initial encounters of a subluxation; this code is specifically for sequelae.
