ICD-10-CM Code S53.0
Subluxation and dislocation of radial head
Non-Billable Code
Non-Billable means the code is not sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis. Use a child code to capture more detail.ICD Code S53.0 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the five child codes of S53.0 that describes the diagnosis 'subluxation and dislocation of radial head' in more detail.

The ICD code S530 is used to code Nursemaid's elbow
Nursemaid's elbow, babysitter's elbow, or pulled elbow is a dislocation of the elbow joint caused by a sudden pull on the extended pronated forearm, such as by an adult tugging on an uncooperative child or by swinging the child by the arms during play. The technical term for the injury is radial head subluxation.
Specialty: | Emergency Medicine |
ICD 9 Code: | 832.0 |
Capsule of elbow-joint (distended). Anterior aspect. (Nursemaid's elbow involves the head of radius slipping out from the anular ligament of radius.)

Inclusion Terms:
Inclusion Terms
Inclusion Terms are a list of concepts for which a specific code is used. The list of Inclusion Terms is useful for determining the correct code in some cases, but the list is not necessarily exhaustive. - Dislocation of radiohumeral joint
- Subluxation of radiohumeral joint
-
Code Type-1 Excludes:
Type-1 Excludes
Type-1 Excludes mean the conditions excluded are mutually exclusive and should never be coded together. Excludes 1 means "do not code here." - Monteggia's fracture-dislocation - instead, use code S52.27-
Coding Advice SNOMET-CT
- Possible requirement for an external cause code
Parent Code: S53 - Dislocation and sprain of joints and ligaments of elbow
