Unspecified subluxation of right little finger, sequela

This code signifies a long-term or late effect of an unconfirmed partial dislocation of the right little finger joint. The initial injury has resolved, but the patient continues to experience residual symptoms or complications directly attributable to the original subluxation.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with chronic pain, stiffness, instability, or deformity in the right little finger, where the underlying cause is a previously sustained, but unspecified, subluxation. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing the lasting consequences of such an injury, rather than the acute event itself.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the primary condition or sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current symptoms to a past right little finger subluxation.
• Avoid using this code for acute or initial injury encounters; those require acute injury codes.
