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

This code signifies a posterior dislocation of the proximal tibia in the right knee that has already received initial treatment. It indicates that the patient is now in a healing phase, receiving follow-up care, or experiencing a complication after the initial injury.

Use this code for subsequent encounters where a patient is being managed for a previously diagnosed posterior right knee tibiofibular dislocation. This includes follow-up appointments for monitoring healing, physical therapy sessions, or evaluation of ongoing symptoms related to the initial injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "subsequent encounter" for the dislocation.
• Pair with an external cause code if the mechanism of injury is relevant for the subsequent encounter.
• Do not use for initial treatment of the dislocation; refer to acute dislocation codes for initial care.
