Sublux of proximal interphaln joint of r mid finger, sequela

This code indicates a partial dislocation of the middle joint of the right middle finger that is a long-term consequence of an initial injury. The bones forming the joint are no longer properly aligned, but the joint surfaces remain in partial contact. This condition can lead to chronic pain, stiffness, and functional impairment.

This code is used when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing symptoms or complications directly attributable to a previously sustained subluxation of the right middle finger's proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint. It is appropriate for follow-up encounters where the original injury has healed but residual effects persist.

• Assign this code only for conditions explicitly documented as a sequela (late effect) of a prior subluxation.
• Ensure documentation clearly specifies the right middle finger and the PIP joint.
• Do not use for acute subluxations; those require codes from the acute injury section.
