Unspecified subluxation of right ulnohumeral joint, sequela

This code signifies a long-term or late effect of an unstated subluxation (partial dislocation) of the right elbow joint, specifically involving the articulation between the ulna and humerus. It indicates that the original injury has resolved, but the patient continues to experience residual symptoms or complications directly attributable to that past subluxation.

This code is appropriate when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing issues, such as chronic pain, instability, or limited range of motion, that are a direct consequence of a previously sustained, but now healed, subluxation of the right ulnohumeral joint. It should be used when the specific type or cause of the original subluxation is not documented or is unknown.

• Always sequence this sequela code after the code for the primary condition or symptom being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current symptoms to a past subluxation of the right ulnohumeral joint.
• Do not use this code for acute or current subluxations; those require codes from the acute injury section.
