Sublux of proximal interphaln joint of r mid finger, init

This diagnosis code indicates a partial dislocation of the joint closest to the palm in the right middle finger. The joint surfaces are no longer perfectly aligned but remain in partial contact. This injury typically results in pain, swelling, and limited range of motion in the affected finger.

Apply this code when documenting the initial treatment for a patient presenting with a subluxation of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint of their right middle finger. This includes the initial evaluation, reduction, and any immediate follow-up care related to the acute injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies the right middle finger and that it's a subluxation, not a complete dislocation.
• The "A" at the end signifies an initial encounter for this specific injury.
• Confirm the injury is to the PIP joint, not the distal interphalangeal (DIP) or metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint.
