  • S53.131 for Medial subluxation of right ulnohumeral joint - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S53.131A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S53.131D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S53.131S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • S53.132 for Medial subluxation of left ulnohumeral joint - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S53.132A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S53.132D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S53.132S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

Patient Education


Dislocations

Dislocations are joint injuries that force the ends of your bones out of position. The cause is often a fall or a blow, sometimes from playing a contact sport. You can dislocate your ankles, knees, shoulders, hips, elbows and jaw. You can also dislocate your finger and toe joints. Dislocated joints often are swollen, very painful and visibly out of place. You may not be able to move it.

A dislocated joint is an emergency. If you have one, seek medical attention. Treatment depends on which joint you dislocate and the severity of the injury. It might include manipulations to reposition your bones, medicine, a splint or sling, and rehabilitation. When properly repositioned, a joint will usually function and move normally again in a few weeks. Once you dislocate a shoulder or kneecap, you are more likely to dislocate it again. Wearing protective gear during sports may help prevent dislocations.

Elbow Injuries and Disorders

Your elbow joint is made up of bone, cartilage, ligaments and fluid. Muscles and tendons help the elbow joint move. When any of these structures is hurt or diseased, you have elbow problems.

Many things can make your elbow hurt. A common cause is tendinitis, an inflammation or injury to the tendons that attach muscle to bone. Tendinitis of the elbow is a sports injury, often from playing tennis or golf. You may also get tendinitis from overuse of the elbow.

Other causes of elbow pain include sprains and strains, fractures (broken bones), dislocations, bursitis, and arthritis. Treatment depends on the cause.
