Unspecified subluxation of left little finger, subs encntr

This code signifies a partial dislocation of the left little finger joint, where the specific joint involved (e.g., DIP, PIP, MCP) is not documented. The injury is not fully dislocated but rather misaligned, causing pain and limited function.

Use this code for follow-up visits, cast changes, or ongoing treatment of a left little finger subluxation after the initial encounter. This applies when the physician has not specified which phalangeal joint of the little finger is affected.

• Requires a 7th character extender 'D' for subsequent encounter.
• Only use when the specific joint (DIP, PIP, MCP) of the little finger subluxation is not documented.
• If the laterality is unspecified, refer to the unspecified laterality code.
