Anterior dislocation of right ulnohumeral joint, subs encntr

This code signifies a forward displacement of the ulna relative to the humerus at the elbow joint, specifically on the right side. It indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for this injury after the initial treatment phase.

Apply this code when documenting a patient's visit for ongoing management, rehabilitation, or evaluation of complications related to a previously treated anterior dislocation of the right ulnohumeral joint. This includes scenarios such as physical therapy, cast removal, or assessment of range of motion during the healing process.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "anterior" dislocation and "right" side.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter, meaning the patient is in the healing or recovery phase.
• Do not use for initial treatment of the dislocation; a different seventh character would be appropriate for the initial encounter.
