Subluxation of MTP joint of right lesser toe(s), init

This code signifies a partial dislocation or misalignment of one or more metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joints in the right foot, specifically affecting the lesser toes (toes 2-5). This condition involves the joint where the metatarsal bone meets the phalanx, without complete separation of the joint surfaces.

Use this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed or initially treated subluxation of the MTP joint(s) of the right lesser toes. This would include acute injuries, or the first encounter for evaluation and management of a chronic subluxation.

• Ensure documentation specifies "subluxation" rather than a full "dislocation" to differentiate from S93.3-.
• Verify the affected side (right foot) and the specific toes (lesser toes 2-5) are clearly documented.
• Confirm this is the "initial encounter" for the condition; subsequent encounters will require different seventh characters.
