Other subluxation of right foot, sequela

This code signifies a partial dislocation or misalignment of one or more joints within the right foot, excluding the talotarsal joint, as a long-term consequence of an initial injury. It indicates that the original injury has resolved, but the subluxation persists as a residual effect.

Apply this code when documenting a chronic or residual subluxation of the right foot (excluding talotarsal) that is a direct result of a past injury. This would be used in follow-up encounters for conditions like persistent instability, pain, or functional limitations stemming from the prior subluxation.

• Always assign an external cause code (20th character) to describe the original injury that led to the sequela, if known.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current subluxation to a previous injury and specifies the right foot.
• Distinguish from acute subluxations, which would use codes from the acute injury section.
