S73.0Subluxation and dislocation of hip

S73.0 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for subluxation and dislocation of hip. It belongs to category S73 (dislocation and sprain of joint and ligaments of hip), 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 5 subcodes must be used instead.

Within S73 (dislocation and sprain of joint and ligaments of hip), S73.0 is specifically for subluxation and dislocation of hip. Related codes cover sprain of hip (S73.1).

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 S73.0, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: dislocation and subluxation of hip prosthesis (T84.020, T84.021).

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