Dislocation of MTP joint of unsp lesser toe(s), subs

This code signifies a dislocation of a metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint in any of the lesser toes (toes 2-5) where the specific toe is not documented. It indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for this injury, such as cast changes, physical therapy, or monitoring of healing.

Apply this code when a patient presents for subsequent treatment of a previously diagnosed MTP joint dislocation of an unspecified lesser toe. This includes encounters for post-reduction care, assessment of healing progress, or management of complications arising from the initial injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "subsequent encounter" for the dislocation.
• If the specific lesser toe (e.g., second, third, fourth, or fifth) is identified, use the more specific code (S93.121-S93.125).
• Do not use for initial treatment of the dislocation; refer to the "initial encounter" codes.
