Subluxation of distal radioulnar joint of right wrist, subs

This code signifies a partial dislocation of the joint connecting the two bones of the forearm (radius and ulna) at the wrist, specifically on the right side. It indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for this injury after the initial treatment phase.

This code is appropriate for encounters where a patient is being seen for ongoing management, healing assessment, or rehabilitation of a previously diagnosed right distal radioulnar joint subluxation. This includes visits for physical therapy, re-evaluation, or monitoring of recovery.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right wrist" and "distal radioulnar joint."
• Verify the encounter is for subsequent care, not the initial injury or sequela.
• Distinguish from complete dislocation (luxation) or other wrist joint involvement.
