Sprain of metatarsophalangeal joint of right great toe, subs

This code indicates a sprain of the joint connecting the metatarsal bone to the first bone of the right great toe. It signifies that the patient is receiving follow-up care for an injury that occurred previously, such as during rehabilitation or a subsequent evaluation.

Apply this code when documenting ongoing treatment or recovery for a previously diagnosed sprain of the right great toe's metatarsophalangeal joint. This includes scenarios like physical therapy sessions, follow-up physician visits to assess healing, or medication refills related to the initial injury.

• Ensure the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial injury.
• Verify laterality (right great toe) and the specific joint (metatarsophalangeal).
• Confirm that the diagnosis is a sprain, not a fracture or dislocation.
