ICD-10 code for wrist subluxation

The ICD-10-CM code for wrist subluxation is S63.00 (Unspecified subluxation and dislocation of wrist and hand). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on S63.00.

Within S63.0, choose S63.00 (Unspecified subluxation and dislocation of wrist and hand) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: 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 other carpometacarpal joint (S63.05), 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.

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