About S73

S73 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for dislocation and sprain of joint and ligaments of hip. It belongs to block S70-S79 (injuries to the hip and thigh) 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 2 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: S73.0 (hip) and S73.1 (hip).

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of S73, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: strain of muscle, fascia and tendon of hip and thigh (S76.-).

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