S63.05Subluxation and dislocation of other carpometacarpal joint

S63.05 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for subluxation and dislocation of other carpometacarpal joint. It belongs to category S63 (dislocation and sprain of joints and ligaments at wrist and hand level), block S60-S69 (injuries to the wrist, hand and fingers) and chapter 19 (injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 6 subcodes must be used instead.

Within S63.0, choose S63.05 (Subluxation and dislocation of other carpometacarpal joint) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: unspecified subluxation and dislocation of wrist and hand (S63.00), subluxation and dislocation of distal radioulnar joint (S63.01), subluxation and dislocation of radiocarpal joint (S63.02), subluxation and dislocation of midcarpal joint (S63.03), subluxation and dislocation of carpometacarpal joint of thumb (S63.04), subluxation and dislocation of metacarpal (bone), proximal end (S63.06), subluxation and dislocation of distal end of ulna (S63.07) and other subluxation and dislocation of wrist and hand (S63.09).

Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter, D for subsequent encounter and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of S63.05, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: subluxation and dislocation of carpometacarpal joint of thumb (S63.04-).

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