Displacement of implanted testicular prosthesis, subs

This code signifies that an implanted testicular prosthesis has shifted from its intended position within the scrotum. This displacement can lead to discomfort, cosmetic concerns, or functional issues for the patient. It indicates that the patient is presenting for follow-up care related to this specific complication.

Use this code when a patient returns for evaluation or management of a previously diagnosed displacement of an implanted testicular prosthesis. This includes visits for assessment, planning for revision surgery, or non-surgical management of the displacement. It is appropriate for any encounter after the initial diagnosis of the displacement.

• Always assign an external cause code (V00-Y99) if the displacement was due to an external cause, such as trauma.
• Consider additional codes for any associated symptoms or complications, such as pain (e.g., R10.2).
• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "displacement" and not another type of mechanical complication, such as erosion or infection.
