Other subluxation of left knee, subsequent encounter

This code signifies a partial dislocation of the left knee joint, not further specified as a patellar subluxation, and indicates that the patient is in a period of active treatment or recovery following the initial injury. It represents an ongoing phase of care for this specific left knee instability.

Use this code for follow-up visits where a patient is receiving treatment, rehabilitation, or monitoring for a previously diagnosed, non-patellar subluxation of the left knee. This includes encounters for physical therapy, re-evaluation of the injury, or management of ongoing symptoms after the initial presentation.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies "left knee" and "subluxation" (not dislocation) and that it is not a patellar subluxation.
• Verify the encounter is for a subsequent phase of care, not the initial injury.
• Confirm the laterality (left) is explicitly documented to support this specific code.
