Sublux of prox interphaln joint of r little finger, sequela

This code signifies a chronic or residual subluxation (partial dislocation) affecting the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint of the right little finger. It indicates that the subluxation is not an acute event but rather a long-term consequence of a previous injury or condition.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing symptoms related to a past subluxation of the right little finger PIP joint. This is appropriate for follow-up visits where the initial injury has resolved, but the joint remains partially misaligned, causing persistent issues.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the subluxation is a "sequela" or chronic condition, not an acute injury.
• Verify the specific joint (PIP) and finger (right little finger) are accurately identified in the medical record.
• Do not use this code for acute subluxations; those require different codes from the S63.2- series.
