T84.021Dislocation of internal left hip prosthesis

T84.021 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for dislocation of internal left hip prosthesis. It belongs to category T84 (complications of internal orthopedic prosthetic devices, implants and grafts), block T80-T88 (complications of surgical and medical care, not elsewhere classified) 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 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within T84.02 (dislocation of internal joint prosthesis), T84.021 is specifically for dislocation of internal left hip prosthesis. Related codes cover dislocation of internal right hip prosthesis (T84.020), instability of internal right knee prosthesis (T84.022), instability of internal left knee prosthesis (T84.023), dislocation of other internal joint prosthesis (T84.028) and dislocation of unspecified internal joint prosthesis (T84.029).

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.
