Oth specific joint derangements of right hip, NEC

This code signifies a specific, non-traumatic derangement of the right hip joint that doesn't fit into more defined categories like instability, internal derangement due to trauma, or other specified conditions. It indicates a functional or structural abnormality affecting the joint's mechanics, excluding conditions primarily classified elsewhere.

Use this code when documentation specifies a distinct, non-traumatic derangement of the right hip, such as snapping hip syndrome (external or internal type, if not specified as instability), or other mechanical issues not attributable to a specific injury or another more precise diagnosis. Supporting documentation should clearly state a "derangement" of the right hip and rule out other more specific M24 codes.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "right hip" and "derangement" to support this code.
• Distinguish from M24.351 (pathological dislocation) or M24.451 (recurrent dislocation) which are more specific.
• Avoid using this code if a more precise M24 subcategory (e.g., instability, internal derangement due to trauma, recurrent dislocation) can be assigned.
