Congenital partial dislocation of unspecified hip, unilateral
ICD-10 Q65.30 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of congenital partial dislocation of unspecified hip, unilateral.
Congenital partial dislocation of the hip, also known as hip dysplasia, is a condition where the femoral head is not properly seated in the acetabulum of the pelvis. This condition can lead to instability in the hip joint, which may result in pain, limited mobility, and potential long-term complications such as osteoarthritis if not addressed early. In pediatric patients, this condition is often diagnosed through physical examination and imaging studies, such as ultrasound or X-rays. The etiology may be multifactorial, including genetic predispositions and environmental factors. Early intervention is crucial, and treatment options may include bracing, physical therapy, or surgical intervention depending on the severity of the dislocation. Accurate coding is essential for proper management and tracking of congenital hip conditions, especially in pediatric populations where growth and development are critical.
Detailed growth and developmental assessments, imaging results, and treatment plans.
Infants presenting with hip clicks or abnormal gait, follow-up visits for bracing or surgical intervention.
Consideration of family history and genetic factors influencing hip development.
Genetic testing results, family pedigree, and any syndromic associations.
Assessment of congenital conditions with genetic implications, counseling for families with a history of hip dysplasia.
Understanding the genetic syndromes that may predispose to hip dysplasia.
Used in cases where non-surgical management fails.
Detailed operative report and pre-operative imaging.
Orthopedic documentation standards for surgical interventions.
Accurate coding of congenital conditions is crucial for appropriate treatment planning, tracking outcomes, and ensuring proper reimbursement. It also aids in research and understanding the epidemiology of congenital disorders.
