Anterior sublux of proximal end of tibia, r knee, sequela

This code signifies a chronic or residual anterior subluxation of the proximal tibia in the right knee. It indicates that the tibia is abnormally displaced forward relative to the femur, and this condition is a long-term consequence of a previous injury or event, rather than an acute occurrence.

This code is appropriate for patients presenting with ongoing symptoms related to a previously sustained anterior subluxation of the right proximal tibia. It should be used when the provider documents the condition as a sequela, implying a healed or chronic state with persistent instability or related issues. Do not use for acute injuries.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "sequela" or indicates a chronic/residual nature of the subluxation.
• Verify the laterality is specifically "right knee."
• Confirm the subluxation is anterior and involves the proximal end of the tibia.
