S53.1 — Subluxation and dislocation of ulnohumeral joint
Is S53.1 billable?
No — S53.1 is a non-billable header code. S53.1 groups more specific codes and cannot be submitted on a claim. A valid ICD-10-CM code must be reported at the highest level of specificity available in its branch. Select one of the 60 billable codes beneath S53.1.

Excludes1 — never code together
The conditions below can never be reported together with S53.1 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- dislocation of radial head alone (S53.0-)
Inclusion terms
Alternative wording in documentation that is classified to S53.1.
- Subluxation and dislocation of elbow NOS
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside S53.1 to fully describe the condition. S53.1 is sequenced first.
- code to identify any retained foreign body, if applicable (Z18.-)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 19
The conditions below are not part of S53.1, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S53.1 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S50-S59
The conditions below are not part of S53.1, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S53.1 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S53
The conditions below are not part of S53.1, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S53.1 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- strain of muscle, fascia and tendon at forearm level (S56.-)
Code also — inherited from S53
Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether S53.1 is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.
- any associated open wound

How long has S53.1 existed?
S53.1 has been in ICD-10-CM since at least FY2016, the earliest fiscal year on record here.
Derived from the official order files for FY2016–FY2026. FY2017 and FY2020 publish no order file, so those years are not covered.
