S93.1: Dislocation of toe(s)

Dislocation of the toe, categorized by ICD-10 code S93.1, refers to a condition where one or more bones of the toe are moved from their correct anatomical position, typically from a direct blow, a fall, or a twisting injury. A dislocated toe exhibits various signs including pain that is typically severe and immediate, visible displacement of the toe, bruising and swelling around the injured area, difficulty in moving the toe, and sometimes, a feeling of numbness or tingling. These signs may vary in intensity and combination based on the severity of the dislocation and the individual's pain tolerance. This injury most frequently occurs in athletes or those engaging in physical activities, but it can potentially affect anyone subject to a suitable force. The main systems affected by this condition are the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. It's important to have a dislocation treated promptly to minimize potential complications.
