Anterior subluxation of right ulnohumeral joint, sequela

This code signifies a partial dislocation of the right elbow joint, specifically involving the articulation between the ulna and humerus, that is a long-term consequence of an initial injury. The joint surfaces are no longer perfectly aligned, but still maintain some contact. This condition often presents with persistent pain, instability, or limited range of motion in the elbow.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing symptoms or complications directly attributable to a previous anterior subluxation of the right ulnohumeral joint. This applies to situations where the initial injury has healed, but residual effects such as chronic instability, pain, or functional impairment persist.

• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition as a sequela of a prior injury.
• Verify the laterality (right) and the specific joint involved (ulnohumeral).
• Do not use this code for acute subluxations; a different code would be appropriate for the initial injury.
