Subluxation of tarsometatarsal joint of left foot, subs

This code indicates a partial dislocation of one or more joints between the tarsal bones and metatarsal bones in the left foot. It signifies that the patient is receiving follow-up care for this specific injury, such as cast changes, physical therapy, or monitoring of healing.

Use this code for patients presenting for ongoing treatment or recovery from a previously diagnosed subluxation of the left tarsometatarsal joint. This includes visits for rehabilitation, medication management, or re-evaluation after the initial injury and acute treatment phase.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "left foot" and "tarsometatarsal joint."
• Confirm the encounter type is "subsequent" (D) and not initial (A) or sequela (S).
• Look for terms like "follow-up," "rehab," "healing," or "aftercare" in the medical record.
