Unspecified subluxation of right knee, sequela

This code indicates a past, unresolved partial dislocation of the right knee joint where the specific type of subluxation is not documented. It signifies a long-term effect or complication arising from an initial injury, rather than an acute event.

Apply this code when a patient presents with ongoing symptoms or complications directly attributable to a previously sustained, but unspecified, subluxation of the right knee. This is appropriate for follow-up visits or when the initial injury is no longer acute, and the current encounter addresses the residual effects.

• Always sequence this code after the primary diagnosis describing the current condition or symptom related to the sequela.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current presentation to a prior, unspecified right knee subluxation.
• Avoid using this code for acute subluxations; instead, use the appropriate acute subluxation code for the initial injury.
