Transient synovitis, right ankle and foot

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

What This Code Means

Temporary inflammation of the fluid-filled sac in the right ankle and foot joint, usually self-limiting and resolving within weeks.

Coding Tips

  • •This code encompasses both ankle and foot involvement on the right side; document specific anatomical location if possible
  • •Transient synovitis in the ankle/foot is less common than knee involvement; rule out other causes of joint swelling
