S73.011 for Posterior subluxation of right hip - NON-BILLABLE CODE
Use S73.011A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE
Use S73.011D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE
Use S73.011S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE
S73.012 for Posterior subluxation of left hip - NON-BILLABLE CODE
Use S73.012A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE
Use S73.012D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE
Use S73.012S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE
S73.013 for Posterior subluxation of unspecified hip - NON-BILLABLE CODE
Use S73.013A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE
Use S73.013D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE
Use S73.013S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from block Dislocation and sprain of joint and ligaments of hip (S73). Use the following options for the aplicable episode of care:
- A - initial encounter
- D - subsequent encounter
- S - sequela

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.

Hip Injuries and Disorders
Your hip is the joint where your femur (thigh bone) meets your pelvis (hip bone). There are two main parts: a ball at the end of the femur, which fits in a socket in the pelvis. Your hip is known as a ball-and-socket joint. This is because you have a ball at the end of your femur, and it fits into a socket in your pelvis. This makes your hips very stable and allows for a wide range of motion. When they are healthy, it takes great force to hurt them. However, playing sports, running, overuse, or falling can sometimes lead to hip injuries such as:
- Strains
- Bursitis
- Dislocations
- Fractures (broken bones)
Certain diseases also lead to hip injuries or problems. Osteoarthritis can cause pain and limited motion. Osteoporosis of the hip causes weak bones that break easily. Both of these are common in older people.
Another problem is hip dysplasia, where the ball at the end of the femur is loose in the hip socket. It can cause hip dislocation. Babies who have hip dysplasia are usually born with it, but sometimes they develop it later.
Treatment for hip disorders may include rest, medicines, physical therapy, or surgery, including hip replacement.
