Subluxation of unsp interphaln joint of r rng fngr, sequela

This code signifies a persistent, partial dislocation of an interphalangeal joint within the right ring finger, occurring as a long-term consequence of a previous injury or condition. The specific interphalangeal joint (proximal or distal) is not documented.

Apply this code when documenting a chronic subluxation of an unspecified interphalangeal joint of the right ring finger, where the current encounter addresses the residual effects or complications of the original injury. This is appropriate for follow-up care, rehabilitation, or management of ongoing symptoms related to the subluxation.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the subluxation is a "sequela" or "late effect" of a prior injury.
• Confirm the affected digit is the right ring finger and the joint is an interphalangeal joint, even if unspecified.
• Consider additional codes for any associated pain, functional limitations, or other sequelae.
