ICD-10-CMAnterior subluxation of right ulnohumeral joint, initial encounter
This code signifies a partial dislocation of the right elbow joint, specifically where the ulna and humerus bones meet, with the ulna shifting forward. This injury implies that the joint surfaces are no longer perfectly aligned but still maintain some contact.
Apply this code for the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a right elbow injury diagnosed as an anterior subluxation of the ulnohumeral joint. This is typically seen after trauma, such as a fall onto an outstretched hand or a direct blow to the elbow.
