Dislocation of tarsometatarsal joint of right foot, sequela

This code signifies a long-term complication or residual effect stemming from a prior dislocation of the tarsometatarsal joint in the patient's right foot. These sequelae can include chronic pain, instability, degenerative arthritis, or persistent functional limitations that manifest after the initial injury has healed.

Use this code when documenting conditions that are a direct consequence of a past tarsometatarsal joint dislocation of the right foot, and these conditions are no longer acute. This applies to patients presenting with ongoing issues such as post-traumatic arthritis, chronic pain, or deformity directly attributable to the old injury.

• Always use an additional code to specify the exact nature of the sequela (e.g., M19.171 for post-traumatic arthritis of the right ankle/foot).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a previous tarsometatarsal dislocation of the right foot.
• Do not use this code for acute or subacute dislocations; those require codes from the initial encounter or subsequent encounter categories.
