Lateral subluxation of right ulnohumeral joint, sequela

This code signifies a persistent or late-effect condition of a partial dislocation of the right elbow joint, specifically involving the articulation between the ulna and humerus, where the ulna has shifted sideways. This subluxation is not a current, acute injury but rather a long-term consequence of a previous injury or condition.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing symptoms or complications directly attributable to a prior lateral subluxation of the right ulnohumeral joint. This includes chronic pain, instability, or functional limitations that are a direct result of the old injury. Do not use for acute or current subluxations.

• Always require documentation of the "sequela" or "late effect" nature of the subluxation.
• Ensure the laterality (right) and specific joint (ulnohumeral) are clearly documented.
• Do not use this code for initial encounters of acute subluxations; those require acute injury codes.
