Subluxation of interphaln joint of right lesser toe(s), subs

This code signifies a partial dislocation of one or more interphalangeal joints in the right lesser toes (toes 2-5). It indicates that the joint surfaces are no longer perfectly aligned but still maintain some contact.

Apply this code when a patient presents for follow-up care, such as cast changes, physical therapy, or re-evaluation, for a previously diagnosed subluxation of the interphalangeal joint(s) of the right lesser toe(s). This includes situations where the initial treatment has already been rendered.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "subluxation" rather than a complete dislocation.
• Verify that the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment of the injury.
• Confirm laterality (right foot) and the specific joint(s) involved (interphalangeal of lesser toes).
