Dislocation of tarsometatarsal joint of left foot, subs

This code signifies a dislocation of the tarsometatarsal joint (Lisfranc joint) in the left foot that is currently under active treatment or healing. This injury involves the disruption of the articulation between the tarsal bones and the metatarsals, often resulting from significant trauma.

Use this code for follow-up visits, cast changes, medication adjustments, or physical therapy sessions for a patient whose left tarsometatarsal joint dislocation was previously diagnosed and is now receiving ongoing care. This applies when the patient is no longer in the initial acute phase of treatment.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "left foot" and "tarsometatarsal joint" to support this code.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter, meaning the patient is receiving routine care during the healing or recovery phase.
• Do not use this code for the initial treatment of the dislocation; refer to the appropriate initial encounter (A) or sequela (S) codes for that scenario.
