What to know about a dislocated hip
Stress fracture, hip, unspecified, sequela
Presence of right artificial hip joint Z96. 641 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z96. 641 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Dislocation is when the ball of the new hip implant comes out of the socket. Dislocation is uncommon. The risk for dislocation is greatest in the first few months after surgery while the tissues are healing.

2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code M24. 45: Recurrent dislocation, hip.
The most common mechanism of dislocation is impingement. Osteophytes on both the acetabular or femoral side, capsular tissue, or scar tissue can cause a dislocation displacing the head to posterior or anterior. The femur becomes proximalized by the force of the abductors and adductors.
The implant may not be in the best position. Malpositioning combined with imbalances in tension of the soft tissues around the implant can contribute to dislocations. Other patient-related risk factors include female gender, younger age, neurologic problems (including cognitive decline), and trauma.
In a total hip replacement (also called total hip arthroplasty), the damaged bone and cartilage is removed and replaced with prosthetic components. The damaged femoral head is removed and replaced with a metal stem that is placed into the hollow center of the femur.
Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes For this study, CPT 27130 was used to identify primary THA, while CPT 27132 was used to identify conversion THA.
Coding for the hip replacement surgery is 27132.
