Posterior dislocation of right sternoclavicular joint, subs

This code signifies a posterior displacement of the right sternoclavicular joint, meaning the collarbone has dislodged backward from its attachment to the breastbone. This specific code is used when the patient is receiving follow-up care for this injury after the initial treatment phase.

Apply this code for patients presenting for subsequent visits related to a previously diagnosed and treated posterior dislocation of the right sternoclavicular joint. This includes follow-up appointments, physical therapy sessions, or evaluations for ongoing symptoms or complications after the initial care.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "posterior" dislocation and the "right" side.
• Verify that the encounter is indeed "subsequent" and not the initial treatment for the injury.
• Look for documentation of ongoing management, rehabilitation, or assessment of healing for this specific injury.
