Flail joint, 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 is unstable and moves excessively in multiple directions, causing the hand to feel loose or uncontrolled.

Coding Tips

  • •Confirm 'right' wrist is documented; flail wrist is relatively uncommon and warrants careful clinical correlation
  • •Consider documenting associated functional impairment or loss of grip strength
