Medial subluxation of left ulnohumeral joint, sequela

This code signifies a persistent, partial dislocation of the ulnohumeral joint in the left elbow, specifically where the ulna shifts inward (medially) relative to the humerus. This condition is a long-term consequence of a previous injury or condition, rather than an acute event.

Use this code for patients presenting with chronic symptoms, such as pain, instability, or limited range of motion, stemming from a previously sustained medial subluxation of the left elbow. This applies when the current encounter addresses the ongoing effects or complications of that past injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "sequela" or indicates a chronic, residual nature of the subluxation.
• Verify the laterality is explicitly documented as "left."
• Do not use for acute or initial encounters for this type of injury; a different code would be appropriate for the initial injury.
