Unspecified subluxation of right hip, sequela

This code signifies a persistent or late-effect condition resulting from a previous, unspecified partial dislocation of the right hip joint. The exact nature or cause of the original subluxation is not documented, but its long-term consequences are now being addressed.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing symptoms or complications directly attributable to an old, unspecified subluxation of the right hip. This would include follow-up visits for chronic pain, instability, or degenerative changes that developed as a sequela of the original injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a previous subluxation of the right hip.
• This code is for sequelae, meaning the acute phase of the injury has passed.
• Always look for more specific subluxation codes if the type (e.g., traumatic, congenital) is known.
