Disloc of proximal interphaln joint of r mid finger, init

This code signifies a complete displacement of the bones forming the middle joint of the right middle finger. This injury involves the separation of the proximal phalanx from the intermediate phalanx at the PIP joint.

Apply this code when documenting the initial treatment or evaluation of a patient presenting with a dislocated PIP joint of their right middle finger. This typically occurs due to trauma, such as a fall or direct impact to the finger.

• Ensure laterality (right) and specific finger (middle) are accurately documented.
• Verify the encounter is indeed the "initial encounter" for this specific injury.
• Distinguish from subluxation, which involves partial displacement, not complete.
