Ankylosis, right wrist

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

A condition where the right wrist joint becomes stiff and loses mobility due to abnormal fusion of the joint surfaces.

Coding Tips

  • •Confirm right wrist is specifically documented; do not assume based on patient handedness
  • •Consider if ankylosis is post-traumatic, post-surgical, or idiopathic as this may affect treatment planning
