Subluxation of tarsometatarsal joint of right foot, init

This code signifies a partial dislocation of the joints connecting the tarsal bones to the metatarsal bones in the right foot. This injury involves the bones being out of their normal alignment, but still maintaining some contact within the joint capsule.

Use this code for patients presenting with a newly diagnosed tarsometatarsal subluxation of the right foot, typically following a twisting injury or direct trauma. It is appropriate for the initial evaluation and treatment of this specific injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "subluxation" rather than "dislocation" for accurate coding.
• Verify the laterality (right foot) is clearly documented.
• The "A" seventh character indicates an initial encounter for active treatment of the injury.
