Other dislocation of left foot, subsequent encounter

This code signifies a dislocation of the left foot, excluding those specifically classified as subtalar, talonavicular, or transverse tarsal. It indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for the injury after the initial treatment phase.

Use this code for patients presenting for cast changes, physical therapy, or re-evaluation of a previously diagnosed and treated "other" dislocation of the left foot. This applies when the patient is in the healing or recovery phase, beyond the initial acute treatment.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left foot" and a dislocation type other than subtalar, talonavicular, or transverse tarsal.
• The "D" seventh character indicates subsequent encounter, meaning the patient is receiving routine care during the healing or recovery phase.
• Do not use for initial treatment of the dislocation; refer to the acute phase codes.
