Other anterior subluxation of right hip, initial encounter

This code signifies a partial dislocation of the right hip joint where the femoral head has shifted forward (anteriorly) but remains partially in contact with the acetabulum. This condition is distinct from a complete dislocation and involves structures other than the iliopsoas tendon.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with an acute, newly diagnosed anterior subluxation of the right hip. This would include initial evaluations, emergency department visits, or the first encounter for treatment of this specific injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "anterior" and "subluxation" of the right hip, not a full dislocation.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for the injury; subsequent encounters will require a different seventh character.
• Differentiate from iliopsoas tendon subluxation, which has a separate code.
