Medial subluxation of right ulnohumeral joint, sequela

This code describes a partial dislocation of the right elbow joint, specifically involving the inner aspect where the ulna and humerus meet. It indicates that this subluxation is a long-term effect or complication of a previous injury or condition, rather than an acute event.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing symptoms or findings related to a prior medial subluxation of the right ulnohumeral joint. This is appropriate for follow-up care, chronic pain, or functional limitations directly attributable to the past injury. It signifies that the current encounter addresses the residual effects.

• Always ensure documentation clearly states "sequela" or indicates a chronic condition resulting from a past injury.
• Do not use for acute or initial encounters of a subluxation; those would require an acute injury code.
• Verify laterality (right) and joint specificity (ulnohumeral, medial) are explicitly documented.
