S83.19Other subluxation and dislocation of knee

S83.19 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other subluxation and dislocation of knee. It belongs to category S83 (dislocation and sprain of joints and ligaments of knee), block S80-S89 (injuries to the knee and lower leg) 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 S83.1, choose S83.19 (Other subluxation and dislocation of knee) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: unspecified subluxation and dislocation of knee (S83.10), anterior subluxation and dislocation of proximal end of tibia (S83.11), posterior subluxation and dislocation of proximal end of tibia (S83.12), medial subluxation and dislocation of proximal end of tibia (S83.13) and lateral subluxation and dislocation of proximal end of tibia (S83.14).

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.

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