Other dislocation of right knee, initial encounter

This code signifies a dislocation of the right knee joint that does not fall into the categories of patellar, tibial, or femoral dislocation. It encompasses other specific or unspecified types of knee joint displacement, indicating the initial presentation and treatment of the injury.

This code is appropriate for documenting the first encounter for a patient presenting with a right knee dislocation that is not a patellar, tibial, or femoral dislocation. Examples include multi-ligamentous knee dislocations where the specific bone involved in the dislocation is not clearly defined as patellar, tibial, or femoral, or other less common forms of knee joint displacement.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "right knee" and "dislocation" to support this code.
• Verify that the dislocation is not specifically identified as patellar, tibial, or femoral; otherwise, a more specific code should be used.
• The "A" suffix indicates an initial encounter for active treatment of the injury.
