Dislocation and sprain of joints and ligaments of lumbar spine and pelvis (S33)

Browse all the diagnosis codes used for dislocation and sprain of joints and ligaments of lumbar spine and pelvis (s33). For easy navigation, the diagnosis codes are sorted in alphabetical order and grouped by sections. Each section is clearly marked with its description, and the corresponding three-digit code range. This format makes it simple to browse diagnosis codes in this chapter or section and find what you're looking for. We've also added green checkmark icons to label billable codes, and red warning icons for non-billable ones. This makes it easy to identify which codes can be billed.

Instructional Notations

Includes

This note appears immediately under a three character code title to further define, or give examples of, the content of the category.

  • avulsion of joint or ligament of lumbar spine and pelvis
  • laceration of cartilage, joint or ligament of lumbar spine and pelvis
  • sprain of cartilage, joint or ligament of lumbar spine and pelvis
  • traumatic hemarthrosis of joint or ligament of lumbar spine and pelvis
  • traumatic rupture of joint or ligament of lumbar spine and pelvis
  • traumatic subluxation of joint or ligament of lumbar spine and pelvis
  • traumatic tear of joint or ligament of lumbar spine and pelvis

Code Also

A "code also" note instructs that two codes may be required to fully describe a condition, but this note does not provide sequencing direction.

  • any associated open wound

Type 1 Excludes

A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.

  • nontraumatic rupture or displacement of lumbar intervertebral disc NOS M51
  • obstetric damage to pelvic joints and ligaments O71.6

Type 2 Excludes

A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.

  • dislocation and sprain of joints and ligaments of hip S73
  • strain of muscle of lower back and pelvis S39.01

7th Character Note

Certain ICD-10-CM categories have applicable 7th characters. The applicable 7th character is required for all codes within the category, or as the notes in the Tabular List instruct. The 7th character must always be the 7th character in the data field. If a code that requires a 7th character is not 6 characters, a placeholder X must be used to fill in the empty characters.

  • The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category S33

7th Character

Indicates that a seventh character is to be assigned to codes in a subcategory.

  • A - initial encounter
  • D - subsequent encounter
  • S - sequela
  • Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (S00–T88)

    • Injuries to the abdomen, lower back, lumbar spine, pelvis and external genitals (S30-S39)
