Q65.3Congenital partial dislocation of hip, unilateral

Q65.3 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for congenital partial dislocation of hip, unilateral. It belongs to category Q65 (congenital deformities of hip), block Q65-Q79 (congenital malformations and deformations of the musculoskeletal system) and chapter 17 (congenital malformations, deformations, chromosomal abnormalities, and genetic disorders). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Related codes cover congenital dislocation of hip, unilateral (Q65.0), congenital dislocation of hip, bilateral (Q65.1), congenital dislocation of hip, unspecified (Q65.2), congenital partial dislocation of hip, bilateral (Q65.4), congenital partial dislocation of hip, unspecified (Q65.5), congenital unstable hip (Q65.6), other congenital deformities of hip (Q65.8) and congenital deformity of hip, unspecified (Q65.9).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: Q65.30 (unilateral), Q65.31 (unilateral) and Q65.32 (unilateral).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
