Anterior disloc of proximal end of tibia, right knee, subs

This code signifies a forward displacement of the shin bone from its normal articulation with the thigh bone in the right knee, specifically when the patient is receiving follow-up care for this injury. It indicates that the initial treatment has already occurred, and the patient is now in the healing or recovery phase.

Apply this code for encounters where a patient is being seen for ongoing management, physical therapy, cast changes, or medication adjustments related to a previously diagnosed and initially treated anterior dislocation of the right proximal tibia. This includes visits for monitoring healing progress or addressing complications after the initial reduction.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "anterior" dislocation and the "right" knee.
• The "D" seventh character indicates subsequent care after the initial active treatment.
• Do not use for the initial treatment of the dislocation; an "A" seventh character code would be appropriate for the initial encounter.
