Dislocation of MCP joint of right middle finger, init

This code signifies a complete displacement of the bones forming the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint of the right middle finger. This injury involves the disruption of the joint capsule and ligaments, leading to an abnormal alignment of the metacarpal bone and the proximal phalanx of the middle finger.

Apply this code for the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a dislocated right middle finger MCP joint. This includes emergency department visits, urgent care, or the first physician encounter where the diagnosis is established and treatment (e.g., reduction) is initiated.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "dislocation" and not a subluxation or sprain.
• Verify the laterality (right) and the specific digit (middle finger) are documented.
• The "A" seventh character indicates an initial encounter for active treatment of the injury.
