S63.243A

Subluxation of distal interphalangeal joint of left middle finger, initial encounter

Editorial Notes

Ever wonder how specific medical coding can get? Today we are looking at S63.243A, which tracks a partial dislocation of the very tip of your left middle finger during its initial treatment phase. This level of detail is not just academic; it helps healthcare systems track injury patterns and ensure precise clinical documentation. For coders, mastering these joint-specific codes is the key to preventing claim denials and capturing true patient complexity.
