Code Classification

  • Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes
    (S00–T88)

S83.11 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of anterior subluxation and dislocation of proximal end of tibia. The code is not specific and is NOT valid for the year 2024 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. Category or Header define the heading of a category of codes that may be further subdivided by the use of 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th characters.

Specific Coding Applicable to Anterior subluxation and disloc of proximal end of tibia

Non-specific codes like S83.11 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10-CM codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for anterior subluxation and disloc of proximal end of tibia:

  • S83.111 for Anterior subluxation of proximal end of tibia, right knee - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S83.111A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S83.111D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S83.111S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • S83.112 for Anterior subluxation of proximal end of tibia, left knee - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S83.112A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S83.112D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S83.112S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • S83.113 for Anterior subluxation of proximal end of tibia, unspecified knee - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S83.113A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S83.113D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S83.113S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • S83.114 for Anterior dislocation of proximal end of tibia, right knee - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S83.114A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S83.114D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S83.114S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • S83.115 for Anterior dislocation of proximal end of tibia, left knee - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S83.115A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S83.115D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S83.115S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • S83.116 for Anterior dislocation of proximal end of tibia, unspecified knee - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S83.116A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S83.116D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S83.116S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

Coding Guidelines

The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from block Dislocation and sprain of joints and ligaments of knee (S83). Use the following options for the aplicable episode of care:

  • A - initial encounter
  • D - subsequent encounter
  • S - sequela

Inclusion Terms

Inclusion Terms
These terms are the conditions for which that code is to be used. The terms may be synonyms of the code title, or, in the case of "other specified" codes, the terms are a list of the various conditions assigned to that code. The inclusion terms are not necessarily exhaustive. Additional terms found only in the Alphabetic Index may also be assigned to a 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.

Knee Injuries and Disorders

Your knee joint is made up of bone, cartilage, ligaments and fluid. Muscles and tendons help the knee joint move. When any of these structures is hurt or diseased, you have knee problems. Knee problems can cause pain and difficulty walking.

Knee problems are very common, and they occur in people of all ages. Knee problems can interfere with many things, from participation in sports to simply getting up from a chair and walking. This can have a big impact on your life.

The most common disease affecting the knee is osteoarthritis. The cartilage in the knee gradually wears away, causing pain and swelling.

Injuries to ligaments and tendons also cause knee problems. A common injury is to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). You usually injure your ACL by a sudden twisting motion. ACL and other knee injuries are common sports injuries.

Treatment of knee problems depends on the cause. In some cases your doctor may recommend knee replacement.
