Subluxation of proximal interphaln joint of r idx fngr, subs

This code signifies a partial dislocation of the middle joint of the right index finger that has been previously treated and the patient is now receiving follow-up care. The joint surfaces are no longer in proper alignment, but remain in partial contact.

Use this code when documenting a patient's return visit for ongoing management, healing, or complications related to a previously diagnosed and treated subluxation of the right index finger's proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint. This includes scenarios such as cast changes, physical therapy, or monitoring for stability.

• Ensure the documentation clearly indicates a "subsequent encounter" for the injury.
• Verify the affected digit is specifically the right index finger and the joint is the PIP.
• Distinguish from an initial encounter (A) or sequela (S) encounter type.
